The Future of Allied Security: Expectations for the NATO Summit 

This episode, the panel focuses on the NATO summit that will be held from July 9 to 11 in Washington, DC. Its agenda could hardly be more demanding for outgoing Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. A major point - also as Europeans prepare themselves for a potential second US presidency of Donald Trump - will be transatlantic burden-sharing and shifting. Further salient topics include support for Ukraine, the implementation of new defense plans in the Baltics and elsewhere, and new defense partnerships in the Indo-Pacific. Our experts gauge the expectations for and possible outcomes of this key summit in NATO’s 75th year.
Speakers:
Kristi Raik, Deputy Director, International Centre for Defence and Security (ICDS)
Aylin Matlé, Research Fellow, Center for Security and Defense, DGAP
Chair:
Jan Stöckmann, Head of the Director’s Office, DGAP
