NATO's 75th-anniversary summit in Washington faces challenges, including Russia's war on Ukraine, alliances between Moscow, China, North Korea, and Iran, and defense spending issues among members. There's also concern about potential future U.S. administration led by Donald Trump. Trump's recent remarks about withholding military protection from non-compliant member states have caused concern. Leaders are keen to "Trump-proof" military aid for Ukraine, anticipating potential policy shifts if Trump is re-elected. NATO members stress the importance of unity and self-reliance in defense, acknowledging the pressures Trump applied to increase defense spending.
