Episode Details

NATO’s big summit kicks off in Turkey amid rising tensions as the U.S. shifts focus away from Europe, demanding loyalty from allies over base access and defense spending. President Trump’s tough stance on European nations’ contributions clashes with traditional alliance norms, while the “NATO 3.0” vision seeks to redefine the alliance’s future. Hosted by President Erdogan with top-tier security and a new airport built for the event, the summit tackles critical issues: boosting defense budgets, modernizing military tech through industry forums, and reviewing U.S. troop levels amid questions about Europe’s self-defense readiness. The trans-Atlantic bond feels frayed, and this gathering could either mend or deepen the rift.
