NATO shortens summit to avoid losing Trump’s attention

NATO has reduced the length of its upcoming summit in the Netherlands to just two and a half hours, according to the Financial Times. The move aims to prevent U.S. President Donald Trump from leaving early, as he did at this week’s G7 meeting in Canada.

The summit, originally planned as a three-day event, will now consist of a single brief session in The Hague next Wednesday. Three officials involved in the preparations confirmed the decision to the Financial Times, citing concerns over Trump’s patience with long diplomatic gatherings.
