Atlantic Council press call: Unpacking the NATO Leaders’ Meeting
By
Atlantic Council
On Wednesday, December 4, transatlantic leaders gather in London for the NATO Leaders’ Meeting. Marking the 70th anniversary of the military alliance, the meeting is an opportunity to take stock of NATO’s progress over the last three major summits and discuss how to transform the Alliance for the future. The summit will come at a tense time for the Alliance, with allies divided over issues such as trade, burden-sharing, Syria, and Iran, while the meeting’s host country will be only a few days away from a general election.
Following the summit and rounding off NATO’s historic 70th anniversary year, Amb. Alexander Vershbow, Chris Skaluba, and Andrew Marshall, discuss key takeaways from the Leaders Meeting and priorities for the NATO alliance moving forward.
