World leaders gather in Ankara, Turkey for a landmark NATO summit as tensions rise over Donald Trump's criticism of the alliance's support during his Iran war. The summit focuses on the Ukraine conflict, where Vladimir Putin recently launched drone strikes killing 21 people. Trump is pushing for Europe to strengthen its own defence capabilities so the US can shift focus to the Pacific region, while the White House indicates the president urgently wants to end the Ukraine war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
