European leaders pledge unity after recent tensions ahead of NATO summit

European leaders are showing solidarity for a stronger defence partnership as they prepare for next month's NATO summit in Ankara, despite recent disagreements with U.S. President Donald Trump and internal European tensions. This unity is crucial as it underscores their resolve to maintain a strong transatlantic alliance, especially in the face of external threats and differing opinions among member states. The summit is expected to address these issues and reinforce the collective security framework of NATO, highlighting the importance of continued cooperation for global stability.
