Trump plans to remove Turkey from US sanctions list during NATO summit

President Trump plans to remove Turkey from the US sanctions list during the NATO summit, potentially reshaping NATO dynamics and global defense markets. Meanwhile, the 2026 NATO Summit focuses on collective defense, increasing spending to 5% of GDP, and supporting Ukraine. However, Professor Paul Poast notes that Trump requires congressional approval to lift these sanctions, as they were originally imposed with bipartisan support following Turkey's purchase of a Russian missile defense system.
