Trump Meets with NATO Leaders

By Elliot Ackerman

Split-screen from a CBS News 24/7 broadcast showing civilians gathered outside damaged apartment buildings in Kyiv, Ukraine, following a Russian attack, alongside CBS News contributor Elliot Ackerman.

Trump Meets with NATO Leaders

CBS News contributor Elliot Ackerman analyzes President Donald Trump's meetings with NATO leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during the NATO summit. The discussion explores the diplomatic and military priorities shaping the alliance as Russia's war against Ukraine continues.

Ukraine's Military Needs

Ackerman explains why Ukraine's long-term success depends on sustained technological and financial support from NATO partners. He highlights the importance of advanced missile defense systems and continued investment in capabilities that can offset Russia's advantages in a prolonged war of attrition.

The Future of NATO

The conversation also examines how the Ukraine war is transforming NATO. Ackerman argues that the alliance emerging after the conflict will differ significantly from the one that existed beforehand, with European nations assuming greater responsibility for their own defense while maintaining close cooperation with the United States.

Originally aired on CBS News on July 7, 2026.
