Week Ahead in Washington: July 5
President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the 2026 NATO summit in Turkey starting July 7, where allies will focus on collective defense and military support for Ukraine. The summit follows Trump's previous threats to leave NATO over European inaction regarding the Strait of Hormuz and continued U.S. defense reliance, while Washington celebrates its 250th anniversary with events like the Great American State Fair.
