The NATO summit was about Ukraine and Biden. Here are some key things to know

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — NATO leaders met this week to celebrate the alliance’s 75th anniversary under the cloud of deep political uncertainty in its most powerful member — the United States. Over three days in Washington, Ukraine, Russia, the threat posed by an increasingly aggressive China and NATO’s future dominated the formal summit discussions, although all eyes were on Biden. Biden said at his news conference that he’s the “best qualified person” to ensure that the 32-member transatlantic alliance remains strong and that Ukraine does not fall to Putin. “That worries Europe, that worries Poland, and nobody, including the people of Poland, think if wins in Ukraine, he’s going to stop in Ukraine.” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said he’s not concerned about the U.S. commitment to the alliance if Trump is returned to the White House, because it has bipartisan support in Congress and a record number of allies are hitting their goals for military spending.
