The Washington NATO Summit, celebrating the alliance's 75th anniversary, concluded on July 11 with significant developments. As the world's largest military organization, NATO members, led by the U.S., sought to solidify enduring commitments to Ukraine while aiming to make the alliance \"Trump-proof\" amidst shifting political tides.
U.S. President Joe Biden faces a challenging road ahead for the 2024 presidential election. Following a disappointing first head-to-head debate performance against Donald Trump, Biden, at 81, is under increasing pressure from within the Democratic Party to step down as the nominee. Recent polls show a sharp decline in his support, raising concerns that his continued candidacy could pave the way for a second Trump administration.
During the NATO Summit, Biden held his first solo press conference in eight months. Despite endorsements from some European leaders regarding his leadership qualities, the event did little to sway American voters. The Democratic Party, a key advocate for maintaining Washington's global influence, now faces the critical task of identifying a strong candidate before the November elections.
