As NATO wrapped its 75th anniversary summit in Washington, all eyes were on two big questions: How will the alliance counter Russia’s war in Ukraine? 🤔 And can NATO survive a potential Trump comeback? 💥 Here’s the breakdown.
With U.S. President Joe Biden’s reelection hopes looking shaky after a cringey debate performance, European leaders fear a second Trump term could weaken NATO’s unity. The summit saw new pledges to boost Ukraine’s air defenses and long-term security support, but the bigger story? A scramble to make NATO policies 'Trump-proof' 🛡️ by locking in funding commitments and strategic plans before November.
Biden tried to reassure allies at his first solo press conference in eight months, but polls show many Americans still doubt his stamina. If Trump wins, his past threats to 'encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want' to underspending NATO members could resurface—raising stakes for Ukraine and global security.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is in chaos: Will they stick with Biden or gamble on a new candidate to stop Trump? 🗳️ One thing’s clear: NATO’s future now hinges as much on U.S. politics as on the battlefield.
