Watch live as US secretary of state Antony Blinken and Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg join other world leaders in addressing the Nato Public Forum in Washington DC on Wednesday, 10 July.
Other leaders present and due to address the summit include US secretary of defence Lloyd Austin and UK defence secretary John Healey.
