Excerpt:
Donald Trump and his NATO allies confirmed their “ironclad commitment” to collective defence in a communique released at the end of a brief summit in The Hague.
But there was no condemnation of Russia’s war in Ukraine – something that had been in previous statements by allied leaders when Joe Biden was in the White House. His successor has a closer relationship with Vladimir Putin than many of his allies.
The document did describe Russia as a “long-term threat”.
But there was also no word about NATO membership for Ukraine – something that had previously been described an “irreversible path”.
The allies also agreed to spend more on their collective defence.
