@cfr_org: The 2025 NATO Summit at The Hague was “one of the most consequential NATO summits in the history of the alliance,” says CFR Europe expert Liana Fix. She highlights three important developments: 1. New defense spending pledges totaling 5% of members' gross domestic product. 2. The absence of escalation between the United States and NATO members. 3. Renewed European support for Ukraine. Fix notes that while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may have hoped to make more progress on Ukraine's NATO membership bid, the decision by many European members to recommit to Ukraine was “a very important outcome.” #NATO #Europe #Ukraine #WorldNews #ForeignPolicy
