Why Trump should trigger NATO’s Article 5 vs. COVID-19

By Frederick Kempe

If NATO could bend Article 5 to combat a non-state terrorist actor striking the United States, why not also to combat COVID-19. Given current transatlantic divisions, there is far greater need now than after 9/11 for a symbolic gesture of unity.

Atlantic Council press call: Oil market meltdown: Price wars, coronavirus, and energy geopolitics
