Denmark’s ambassador to NATO, Kasper Høeg, has stated recent crises involving Greenland and Iran have shaken the Western alliance. He indicated that former President Trump’s threats have been particularly damaging to the cohesion of NATO. The upcoming summit in Ankara is focused on repairing these fractures and reaffirming the alliance’s unity. A key priority will be demonstrating Europe's significant financial investment in both bolstering its defenses and continuing support for Ukraine. Høeg emphasized the need to ‘clear the air’ and move forward constructively. The meeting aims to showcase a commitment to collective security amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges. Restoring trust and a shared strategic vision are crucial objectives for the summit.
