Summary
John Bolton urged NATO leaders to make their top priority at Tuesday’s Ankara summit “do no harm” by smiling and thanking Donald Trump.
The former Trump national security adviser argued NATO’s biggest danger now comes from within the alliance, not only from external threats.
Bolton said those outside pressures remain acute in Ukraine, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, raising the stakes for any summit disruption.
The advice underscores fears that managing Trump has become central to preserving alliance cohesion at a meeting meant to address wider security challenges.
