## Resource

Trump lands in Turkey for a high-stakes NATO summit where the U.S. is pushing allies to dramatically ramp up defense spending — a move aimed at freeing American resources for the Indo-Pacific and bolstering Ukraine’s fight. With Europe urged to shoulder more security burdens, tensions rise as nations grapple with tough choices: higher taxes, budget cuts, or political fallout — like the UK defense secretary’s resignation. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s president presses NATO to admit his country, citing battlefield prowess and the escalating threat of Russian hybrid warfare.
