NATO Summit Opens in Ankara Amid Tensions

Leaders of the 32-nation military alliance gather in Ankara this week for a summit dominated by the war in Ukraine, defense spending, and President Trump's demands.

The summit was preceded by a massive Russian attack on Kyiv and anti-NATO protests in Turkey.

Trump is set to meet with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Syria's Ahmed al-Sharaa on the sidelines, while European allies brace for further confrontations over burden-sharing.

The US ambassador to NATO warned that members 'lagging behind' on defense spending must increase it immediately or face consequences.
