Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has expressed confidence that next week’s NATO summit in Ankara will succeed, with US President Donald Trump and European allies overcoming differences on burden-sharing.
“The Ankara summit is prepared so that everything works, commitments will be honoured, and each country will arrive having done its part,” Crosetto said, according to La Repubblica.
“I don’t see any problems in this regard compared to the last summit. We’ll see what Trump does.”
Speaking at a think tank event on defence and international security, Crosetto also sought to play down recent tensions between the Italian government and the Trump administration, the newspaper reported.
