Expert Explains | How Turkey emerged as a winner from a fractious NATO summit
Turkey emerged as a significant winner from the recent NATO summit, with US President Donald Trump indicating he would lift sanctions imposed over Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 defense systems and signaled a willingness to sell F-35 jets. This marks a notable shift in US-Turkey relations, as Trump had previously criticized NATO members for their defense spending disparities. The summit concluded without resolving internal NATO divisions, yet Turkey's position within the alliance has strengthened as a result of these developments.
