NATO Summit
Roundtable Luncheon Discussion at The Heritage Foundation
What to Look For at the NATO Summit in Lisbon
President Obama will join other NATO leaders in Lisbon on Nov. 19 for a formal summit of heads of state. Their agenda will include: adoption of NATO’s new Strategic Concept; how to share the burden of common defense more equitably; shoring up the alliance’s Article 5 security guarantees to Central and Eastern Europe; the mission in Afghanistan , including President Obama’s pledge to draw down U.S. troops next July; and missile defense as a potential NATO responsibility. NATO-Russian relations also will be a topic, as Moscow continues to oppose enlarging the alliance and U.S. missile defense plans for Europe
Please join foreign policy and national security experts from Heritage and our distinguished guest, Ian Brzezinski, for a discussion of what news reporters should look for during the NATO summit.
