The NATO summit in Washington this week is set to address key issues such as military and financial support for Ukraine, with a focus on U.S. President Joe Biden's political future.
Biden faces pressure from within his own party to reconsider his re-election bid following a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump. The outcome of the upcoming election could have significant implications for Washington's foreign policy.
Leaders to watch at the summit include Biden, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, British Prime Minister Starmer, French President Macron, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau.
Discussions are expected to cover a range of topics, from Ukraine's path to NATO membership to global security threats posed by North Korea. Trudeau may face scrutiny over Canada's defense spending commitments, while Macron's political challenges in France could impact his stance on international issues.
Stay tuned for updates on the summit's outcomes and their potential impact on global politics and financial markets.
