NATO, Britain and the middle powers

Following the NATO summit in Ankara, American allies face an uncomfortable question – can they still rely on Washington to lead?Donald Trump is demanding more from Europe, NATO is trying to adapt and countries like Britain must decide whether to step up or become spectators in a world shaped by others. This week, John Bew joins The General & The Journalist to discuss NATO, Donald Trump, Britain's defence strategy and the future of transatlantic security. Drawing on his experience advising four UK prime ministers, he explains what the summit means for UK national security, military spending, foreign policy, and Britain's role in a changing world.Should NATO be trying to keep the US on board or should they plan for a future without their support?
