US taking stock of NATO as Trump heads to Turkey for summit

President Donald Trump is traveling to Turkey for a NATO summit held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Beştepe Presidential Compound. While Trump has frequently belittled and berated various European counterparts attending the event, host Recep Tayyip Erdogan has maintained warm ties with the US leader. This positive relationship provides Turkey with a strategic edge as the United States takes stock of the NATO alliance during the high-level meetings hosted by the Turkish president.
