Will the Strait of Hormuz reopen after the US-Iran deal?
On July 7-8, heads of state and government from all NATO member states will gather in Ankara for the 2026 NATO summit. Since the allies met in The Hague last year, transatlantic relations have been rocked by a series of disputes, including the Trump administration’s Greenland ambitions, its war in Iran, and decisions to relocate troops and key capabilities stationed in Europe. At that summit, most member states promised to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP. In Turkey, they will take stock of progress against this goal amidst a rebalancing U.S.-European security partnership, a continuing Russia-Ukraine war in which Kyiv may be gaining the upper hand, and a fast-changing Middle East.
On July 6, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings will convene a virtual discussion on these challenges on the eve of the Ankara summit featuring Aslı Aydıntaşbaş, Linas Kojala, and Matthew Kroenig, moderated by Constanze Stelzenmüller.
