“With pleasure, we can come together and discuss these issues there as well,” Erdogan said of the Baltics plan ahead of his departure from Ankara for the NATO summit. In an interview with Reuters, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned Ankara that “not everybody sees the threats that they see”, and he urged it, in the name of alliance unity, to stop blocking the Baltics plan.
“The question is, as we celebrate 70 years, are we waving in celebration or do people think we are drowning?” said a senior European NATO diplomat. Europe, Turkey and Canada will pledge $400 billion in defence spending by 2024, aiming to placate Trump who has long said U.S. allies need to spend more on the collective defence.Leaders will also agree a new 2021-2024 budget that reduces the U.S. contribution to fund the alliance itself. They will approve a new strategy to monitor China’s growing military activity for the first time, and name space as a domain of warfare, along with air, land, sea and computer networks.
