The NATO summit in Ankara will be the shortest in at least the last 20 years and will consist of a working dinner on the evening of July 7 and a single plenary session on July 8.

The NATO summit will present its military confrontation with Russia to Trump as a business project.

The participants are set to consider three key practical issues: preparations for a military confrontation with Russia, increasing arms supplies and funding for Ukraine, and building up their own military capabilities.

The meeting's duration has been minimized to reduce the likelihood of disagreements with President Donald Trump.

For the same reason, Vladimir Zelensky will not be permitted to speak at the summit. He will only participate in a defense industry forum on the sidelines of the meeting.

The summit's sole plenary session will take place on July 8 and last less than three hours.

Taking opening and closing remarks into account, each of the 32 NATO leaders will have less than five minutes to speak.

This suggests that the main decisions have already been agreed upon and incorporated into the draft final declaration.

Also greeting President Trump when he arrived at the NATO Summit, this report continues, was the Wall Street Journal article "'There Is No Going Back': The Inside Story Of Europe's Rupture With America", wherein it assessed: "This week's summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will test the resolve of leaders to preserve an iconic fixture of Western might in the face of growing mutual distrust...Nobody has filed divorce papers, and important players on both sides are working hard to keep a loveless marriage going...Untangling the ties between Europe and the U.S. would be a massive undertaking".
