As NATO gathers in #Ankara, Europe is finally spending more on defence. But a Europeanised NATO also requires European leadership, able to command, decide, and signal in crises when US leadership is conditional or distracted. My latest analysis for @ispionline

As #NATO leaders gather in Ankara on 7–8 July, the Alliance faces a pivotal test amid growing transatlantic tensions and mounting uncertainty over the future of Euro-Atlantic security.
Defence spending, burden-sharing between #Europe and the #UnitedStates, continued support for #Ukraine, and stronger transatlantic defence cooperation are all high on the agenda. At the same time, disagreements over #Greenland, the war against #Iran, the use of US bases in Europe, and the prospect of a reduced American commitment to the continent raise fundamental questions about the future of the Alliance.
This new ISPI Dossier examines the key issues shaping the NATO Summit in Ankara, bringing together expert perspectives on the summit's formal and informal agenda—and on the challenges confronting the Alliance at a critical moment.
