NATO Summit Unveils New Ukraine Aid, Global Issues

At the 75th NATO summit in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden delivered a strong speech reaffirming support for Ukraine and announcing new air defense aid from the United States and its allies, including Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Biden emphasized that NATO is stronger than ever and that Ukraine will prevail against Russia. Despite his efforts to project confidence, concerns about his age and fitness for office continue to overshadow the summit, with some Democrats debating whether he should run for re-election. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also attended the summit, focusing on ensuring continued aid to Ukraine and strengthening transatlantic security ties. The summit addresses not only the Ukraine conflict but also other global security issues, such as the Israel-Gaza war and alliances between Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea.
