President Donald Trump entered the final day of the NATO summit, where alliance leaders sought to project unity on defense spending and support for Ukraine. Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and was expected to conclude the summit with a press conference.

Defense Spending and Ukraine Support

The final day of the summit focused on the alliance’s efforts to strengthen collective defense, with members implementing higher defense spending commitments and coordinating support for Ukraine. Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy was closely watched, as Kyiv continues to press allies for military assistance and air defense capabilities.

Ukrainian officials warned that the country is running low on Patriot interceptor missiles, which are effective against Russia’s ballistic missile attacks. Ukraine has secured European backing for hundreds of Patriot missiles, but many of those deliveries are not expected for months or years.

Trump’s Meetings and Press Conference

Trump also met with Syrian President al-Sharaa, whose government has sought closer engagement with Washington. The president was expected to cap the summit with a press conference, outlining the administration’s priorities for the alliance and any agreements reached during the two-day gathering.
