WHAT ARE THE MAIN TAKEAWAYS FROM NATO’S WASHINGTON SUMMIT DECLARATION? - NATO leaders have released the Washington Summit Declaration, a consensus document setting forth what the Alliance stands for. Our experts Matthew Kroenig, Vice President and Senior Director of the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council and Joslyn Brodfuehrer, Associate Director at the Transatlantic Security Initiative, break down what’s in the document.
In the case of Ukraine, which was expected to be a major focus of the 2024 NATO Summit, it lays out a “bridge” to membership and says the country’s path to NATO membership is “irreversible.” The declaration is also tough on China, Iran, and North Korea, saying these countries are increasingly working together to threaten the security of the transatlantic alliance. NATO allies are focused on getting and maintaining the capabilities that it needs to deter and defend against these mounting challenges now and in the future.
