Greece's first official response to President Trump's renewed openness toward Turkey's return to the F-35 program. Defense Minister Nikos Dendias questioned whether rearming Ankara serves U.S. strategic interests, warning that NATO's southeastern flank cannot be strengthened by empowering a country that continues to threaten another Alliance member.
The Trump administration's decision to remove Syria from the U.S. list of State Sponsors of Terrorism is far more than a symbolic diplomatic gesture.

At the NATO Summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump signaled a major shift in Washington’s policy toward Turkey, saying the United States would consider selling F-35 fighter jets to Ankara and lift CAATSA sanctions.

NATO's commitment to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP marks the most ambitious military investment drive since the Cold War. But as leaders gather in Ankara, Europe faces a difficult question: can it finance rearmament while preserving fiscal stability and political support?
