President Trump is preparing to travel to this week’s NATO summit in Turkey after marking America’s 250th birthday over the weekend.
Leaders are gathering there as the Trump administration continues to scrutinize the transatlantic alliance. The summit kicks off Tuesday in Ankara where European leaders are bracing for a future in which the U.S. plays a smaller role in security and defense.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is also expected to be in focus. President Trump is scheduled to meet Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the summit.
