AN AC FRONT PAGE EVENT—The Atlantic Council is hosting Senators Shaheen and Tillis for a conversation on the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara.

On Wednesday, June 17, at 3:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council will host Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), for an Atlantic Council Front Page conversation on the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara.

With Russia’s continued war on Ukraine, NATO must confront growing challenges to European security with unity and purpose. Ahead of their final NATO Summit as co-chairs of Senate NATO Observer Group, Senators Shaheen and Tillis will speak about US and allied goals for the NATO Summit, as well as reflect on progress undertaken by allies on meeting their defense spending commitments, scaling defense industrial capacity, and expanding their support for Ukraine.
