The summit saw a surprising display of unity, with Trump praising the atmosphere as successful. Security concerns took center stage as NATO considered potential involvement in Iran tensions, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, following Trump’s authorization of strikes and frustration over allied inaction. Trump also met with Zelenskyy, announcing U.S. licensing of Patriot systems for Ukraine and hinting at eased sanctions on Turkey — a move that could unlock F-35 sales despite Turkey’s past Russian arms purchases. NATO allies pledged 70 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine over two years, though the U.S. won’t contribute directly — a shift reflecting Europe’s rising defense spending, praised by Secretary-General Rutte as a Trump-fueled success. The alliance declared a “transformation” toward a stronger Europe within a stronger NATO, but the next summit’s location and timing remain undecided — with Albania’s 2027 date now in doubt.
