What is the background to tensions?
Two key issues have loomed over this summit: defence spending - a longstanding issue of concern for the US, which militarily dominates the group - and relations between Turkey and other member states.for the Baltic region if the bloc did not support Turkey over its fight against Kurdish groups in Syria it considers terrorists.
"When I look at Turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us shoulder to shoulder against [IS]," the French president said on Tuesday.Macron:"We don't have the same definition of terrorism" around Nato table On Tuesday Mr Trump said he was"looking at" imposing sanctions on Turkey for buying the S-400 system, while Mr Macron asked:"How is it possible to be a member of the alliance... and buy things from Russia?"Since becoming US president in 2016, Donald Trump has frequently and forcefully criticised how much other Nato allies spend on defence.
Ha you forgot
where is coco the clown why as the BBC left him out again.
No. When you say 'cracks show' you mean 'Trump criticises.' If 'cracks show' that means the house is in danger. It's not. You state in the third para that 'the future of NATO is not in doubt.' Misleading reporting.
cracks because crocks like Macron wants his own super EU army, why? this man is trouble,
Europe should be careful just what they wish for they might just get it . Without US protection Russia could just waltz in tomorrow and take over without a single shot being fired. Even combined they dont have enough Firepower.
Unhappy that the despotic President of Turkey is allowed on British soil again without mass protests. Jailing teachers & journalists, using migrants as bargaining chips, illegal oil drilling, invading Syria, killing Kurdish civilians, homophobic & intolerant of other religions.
ChickenJohnson is a national security threat. Preventing the report on Russian political interference shows he's a threat. If there was nothing to see, why hide it? Johnson should not be there!!!
Hardly surprising the US are unhappy when so many others don't play their part.
