The NATO summit will begin about two weeks after President Biden's debate with his GOP rival, former President Donald Trump. A White House official pushed back on reports that NATO leaders were unduly concerned about Mr. Biden's health or stamina.
Flags of NATO member countries blow in the wind outside at NATO headquarters in Brussels, March 14, 2024. Dozens of world leaders will convene in Washington next week for NATO’s 75th-anniversary summit, where they will offer Ukraine a path toward membership in the alliance even if they aren’t quite ready to give Kyiv a key to the front door.
“President Biden will host an event with Zelenskyy and nearly two dozen of our allies and partners who signed bilateral security agreements with Ukraine,” the White House official told reporters during a briefing. The summit will highlight NATO’s recent growth. The White House official said the addition of Finland and Sweden to the alliance was a singular achievement of the Biden administration. President Biden also coaxed NATO allies to earmark at least 2% of their gross domestic product toward military spending.
The NATO summit will begin about two weeks after President Biden’s debate with his GOP rival, former President Donald Trump. His poor performance in Atlanta has prompted some fellow Democrats to urge him to step aside in favor of a more energetic candidate. However, the White House official pushed back on reports that NATO leaders were unduly concerned about Mr. Biden’s health or stamina.
