US EditionAnalysis-NATO’s dilemma: how Zelenskiy can attend summit without provoking Trump
- NATO is organizing a summit in The Hague in June, where Ukrainian President Zelenskiy is widely expected to attend in some form amid ongoing tensions.
- The summit's backdrop includes a February White House clash between Trump and Zelenskiy and Trump's opposition to Ukraine's NATO membership, complicating Zelenskiy's invitation.
- Diplomats suggest Zelenskiy might be invited to a dinner event before the summit organized by the Dutch monarch, but could be excluded from the main summit meeting to prevent tensions with Trump.
- NATO members intend to increase their core defense budget target to 3.5% of GDP and additionally allocate 1.5% toward areas like infrastructure and cyber defense, reaching the 5% total that Trump has called for.
- Careful choreography seeks to prevent disagreements at the short summit while signaling continued European support for Ukraine despite unresolved formal invitations and statements on Russia.
