NATO Divided: Ukraine War, Trump's Possible Return Cast Shadow at Summit | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The 2024 NATO Summit in Washington DC, which kicked off today to celebrate the alliance's 75th anniversary, has been overshadowed by disagreements and concerns about the war in Ukraine. While welcoming new members Finland and Sweden, the alliance faces a divided front on how to support Ukraine. The United States, under President Biden, has pledged continued military aid, but other members are wary of escalation. Ukraine's President Zelensky is pushing for fasttrack membership, but faces resistance from some members, including Germany and the US itself. While the US has announced a new aid package, there's no consensus on how far NATO should go to support Ukraine.
Donald Trump's lead in US polls has cast a shadow over the summit. NATO allies are worried about his past criticism of the alliance and potential withdrawal of support for Ukraine. A summit declaration is expected tomorrow, but major decisions on Ukraine's membership and longterm support are likely to be postponed owing to the ongoing RussiaUkraine war. Palki Sharma tells you more.
