First NATO summit with Biden is coming up

In addition, the threats from Russia and the “NATO 2030” reform initiative will play a prominent role. The top meeting is of particular importance because it is the first with the new US President Joe Biden. He has promised to normalize the very tense relations between NATO and the United States under his predecessor Donald Trump.

After the G7 summit in Cornwall, England, Biden arrived in Brussels on Sunday evening. The White House announced Biden’s clear commitment to the alliance. “During the summit, the president will reaffirm NATO’s lasting transatlantic ties,” said a statement. Biden will also underline “the iron commitment of the United States to Article 5” for collective defense. “An attack on one is an attack on all and will be answered with a collective answer.”
