President Trump will head to Turkey this week for this year's NATO summit, many members of NATO, are anxious about the changing alliance role of the U.S. Trump has pulled some U.S. troops from Europe and has demanded for some time that Europe countries pay more of a share for the cause of NATO. David Calder is a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.
He says the conversation in Turkey will include a spending discussion. The Trump administration in the President's first term and now in a second term is actually played a pretty significant role in attracting other nation's attention to the spending level and getting that agreement, not just to reach the 2% from the Wales commitment for some years ago, but also to the 5% commitment that came out of the Hague summit.
But what's most important now moving forward that the spending is rising is actually translating
the spending into real military capability.
“I think that's one of the things that this summit is going to focus on.”
This and Memphis say national guard troops fired their weapons in the early morning hours today, killing a man who was armed with a handgun. His NPR's Jill Rose reports, the incident is now under investigation.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has now formally rescinded a decade-old guidance that guidance allowed employers to take affirmative action to fight discrimination. As NPR's Andrea Shew reports, the Trump administration says the guidance was inconsistent with federal law. Back in 1979, the EEOC told employers they could awfully take temporary steps to address
race or sex-based imbalances in their workforce. It was a green light to create things like mentoring programs for women and hiring targets for minority candidates. But now under President Trump, the agency has reversed course. Agency chair Andrea Lucas has argued that federal civil rights laws apply equally to all
workers, and that programs aimed at helping black or female workers are not okay because they exclude white people and men. The loan Democrat on the Commission called the move to rescind the guidance yet another
“attack on civil rights protections, Andrea Shew and PR news.”
