Trump’s NATO visit tests unity as Europe accelerates defenses

TL;DR Summary
At a NATO summit in Ankara, Donald Trump dominates headlines with criticisms of the alliance and a Greenland remark, while Europe presses ahead with rearmament: Airbus aircraft contracts, replacing AWACS with GlobeEye, and joint missile projects. Ukraine’s Zelensky urged immediate air-defense capabilities as Russia’s attacks underscore the need for credible defenses, even as the US signals smaller security commitments to Europe, raising fears of a post-war arms surge if NATO slows down.
