Topic: 70th Anniversary of NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization)

Topic Description:

On December 3rd and 4th, NATO leaders met in London to mark the 70th anniversary of the military alliance.

The summit that was expected to cover issues like cyber-attacks and strategic challenges posed by China, was overshadowed by differences among the member countries themselves.

These included Turkey's recent military action in northern Syria, the varying levels of military spending by members as well as the future of the 29-member bloc.

More significantly, the summit saw a highly publicised sparring between U.S. President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on issues ranging from terrorism to trade.

What was meant to be a show of unity on the 70th year of the world's most powerful defence alliance, turned out to be a display disagreement on the world stage.
