NATO Readies for a 'Big Reveal' on Arms Deals to Prove Its Firepower to Trump The upcoming NATO summit in Turkey is set to be a high stakes test of the alliance's ability to convince President Donald Trump that it is stepping up defense spending and translating economic might into military capabilities.
The alliance has been trying to ease U. S. concerns about military spending with charts and graphs, but it remains to be seen whether these efforts will be enough to impress the mercurial president.
The summit's main event is a "big reveal" of new military projects worth billions of dollars, aimed at showcasing NATO's firepower and reassuring Trump that its allies are committed to increasing their defense budgets.
