US President Donald Trump is set to make a high-stakes appearance at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, just three months after sparking widespread concern over his potential withdrawal from the alliance. Trump's decision to attend the two-day summit, which begins on Tuesday, marks a significant shift in his stance on the 70-year-old military pact. In a surprise move, Trump recently expressed openness to reconsidering his position on NATO, citing concerns over the alliance's burden-sharing among member countries. As Trump arrives in Turkey, observers will be watching closely to see if his comments signal a genuine change in approach or a tactical maneuver ahead of the 2020 US presidential election.
