NATO's future depends on increased European defense spending
The future of NATO is uncertain following a recent confrontation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Former UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt emphasized that NATO's stability is crucial for Europe and cannot be taken for granted. Hunt called for European nations to increase defense spending to match the U.S. levels, warning that failure to do so could jeopardize American support for NATO. He noted that the recent tensions have complicated peace talks regarding Ukraine. As UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer prepares for an emergency summit with Zelensky and European leaders, Hunt urged immediate action to strengthen NATO. He highlighted the need for a united front to ensure a ceasefire and support for Ukraine.
