NATO is set to unveil new military projects worth billions to demonstrate increased defense spending to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has criticized the alliance for relying heavily on American military support. The announcement, part of a two-day summit in Turkey, will highlight contracts with defense companies, many from the U.S., and emphasize European and Canadian contributions since 2017. Despite these efforts, Trump remains dissatisfied, particularly with NATO allies’ reluctance to support his actions against Iran. The summit will also address the renewal of NATO’s aging surveillance fleet. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has urged the U.S. not to sell F-35 jets to Turkey due to strained relations. The event underscores ongoing tensions and the complex dynamics within NATO and its member countries.
