The whirlwind two-day summit concluded on Wednesday with a short communiqué, a clear sign that consensus is hard to find in the alliance with Trump around. It did, however, “reaffirm” an “ironclad commitment” to NATO Article 5, holding that an attack on one ally is an attack on all, something Trump has previously sounded tentative about, as well as highlighting greater commitments by European members and Canada to play a more assertive role in the alliance with more robust defence funding.
