"To save NATO, smile and thank Trump," John Bolton's advice to the allies of the Alliance.

Former national security adviser to Donald Trump, John Bolton, recommends NATO allies to approach the relationship with the current leader at the White House with caution and to avoid any tensions during the summit in Ankara. In an article published in The Washington Post, Bolton argues that the main priority is to maintain the unity of the Alliance and states that the absence of conflicts or controversial decisions at the meeting would represent, in the current context, "a victory for NATO." He emphasized that the alliance remains essential for the security of the United States and Europe, despite repeated criticisms from Donald Trump.
