## Resource

Trump’s historic NATO trip to Turkey kicks off with high stakes: enforcing the five percent defense spending pledge. Allies have promised it — now they must deliver. With Ukraine’s war dragging into its fifth year and Trump meeting Zelenskyy, the summit also tests whether Europe can shoulder more security burdens under “NATO 3.0.” While Turkey’s Erdogan hosts, Trump’s agenda is laser-focused — no side trips, just pressure, progress, and proof that the U.S. still demands accountability — even as allies grapple with whether they’re ready to truly stand alone.
