Reuters: Iran's Case to Be Discussed at NATO Summit in Ankara

NATO leaders will gather in Ankara on Tuesday and Wednesday for a summit taking place amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to increase European defense spending and following months of transatlantic tensions over Iran and Greenland. In the summit statement, leaders are expected to announce: "Allies emphasize that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons and call on Iran to fully respect freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz." European officials say they hope Trump's close relations with Erdogan and Mark Rutte, NATO secretary general, will ensure a smooth summit, but they remain uncertain due to ongoing transatlantic tensions over Iran and the American president's repeated criticism of NATO.
