The NATO summit, being hosted by US President Joe Biden here this week, is likely to show a strong demonstration of America and its allies’ support for Ukraine and make significant new announcements to increase military, political and financial support for the war-torn European country, according to administration officials.
The three-day NATO summit to be held here from July 9 to 11 will be the first to include Sweden as a member of the alliance. Sweden officially joined the alliance in March.
The historic summit would also mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), which is now a strong military alliance of 32 countries.
“It has been truly indispensable to Euro-Atlantic security, deterring threats to the United States and our allies,” a senior administration official told reporters ahead of the summit.
On Sunday, President Biden also spoke about the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, DC.
