🇺🇸 Pentagon excludes key allies from NATO meeting

The Trump administration did not invite the UK, France, or Baltic states to a NATO summit in Poland dedicated to the alliance's future. The excluded nations are considered major defense partners actively involved in deterring Russia.

The event is overseen by Pentagon official Elbridge Colby. A closed format known as the Bergen Group includes Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. While organizers claim the goal is preparing ideas for all of NATO, diplomats fear Washington is dividing allies into "good" and "bad," potentially increasing internal tension amidst the Russian threat and weapon shortages.
