NATO Scales Down Summit to Avoid Trump's Early Exit

NATO has made significant changes to its forthcoming summit schedule, trimming it down to just a single working session. This decision aims to prevent a repeat of U.S. President Donald Trump's early exit, similar to his departure at a recent G7 gathering.

Originally, the summit was planned to span three days. However, considerations around Trump's engagement levels prompted organizers to shorten it to a mere two-and-a-half-hour event, the Financial Times disclosed, citing insights from three informed officials.

While the Financial Times reported these details, Reuters has not been able to independently verify the claims about the summit's agenda changes.
