BARCELONA: (Jul 15) For the US’ allies, Nato summits have largely become a matter of damage control and evading the wrath of Donald Trump. With Washington’s support no longer a given, the special relationship between the US and the European Union (EU) is under increasing strain.
The recent Nato summit, held on July 7-8 in Ankara, Turkiye, took place without any prospect of a ceasefire in Iran or Ukraine. As things stand, both conflicts are ongoing, proof that the US’ powers of deterrence are not as great as previously thought.
The latest summit was thus little more than a tactical readjustment, one that barely managed to renegotiate burden-sharing agreements, particularly with regard to Ukraine.
