## Resource

NATO’s top diplomat is on high alert as he races to keep the U.S. in the alliance amid Trump’s repeated threats to withdraw, using flattery and data like “The Trump Trillion” to show Europe’s contributions — but even charm can’t silence Trump’s complaints about loyalty and Iran. With Russia ramping up drone activity near Europe and the U.S. demanding more allegiance, Rutte’s strategy of emphasizing European responsibility for Ukraine and China is falling short — especially as this year’s summit, hosted by Erdogan, reveals deeper fractures than ever before.
