Asad Mirza
Donald Trump turned NATO's Ankara summit into a one-man show - reviving Iran hostilities, threatening Spain, demanding Greenland, and needling allies - while Secretary-General Mark Rutte's flattery-and-spending strategy kept the alliance intact. The summit exposed a NATO that survives not through unity, but through the careful, anxious management of one man's moods.
When Donald Trump landed in Ankara this week for NATO's annual summit, the alliance's carefully choreographed script survived roughly as long as his motorcade took to reach the venue. What followed was, by multiple accounts, a "marathon, high-energy performance" - the White House's own words - that left ... |
