- NATO Defence Ministers convened and reported "good progress" ahead of the Ankara Summit.
- Rutte said NATO is moving into an "implementation phase" ahead of the Ankara summit, while allies boost defence spending as the US demands more action.
Why it matters: With ministers reporting progress and Rutte flagging an implementation phase, the Ankara Summit becomes a checkpoint where members must convert stated spending hikes into concrete commitments, under direct US pressure for more action.
