NATO unveils Billions in Arms Deals as Trump Arrives in Ankara

President Donald Trump arrived in Ankara Tuesday afternoon for the NATO summit, as the transatlantic military alliance was announcing billions in arms deals in an attempt to appease the mercurial U.S. leader.

Trump was expected to head first to the presidential compound of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, a close ally who is hosting this year’s gathering. 

Just before Air



Force One touched down in Ankara, NATO showcased a series of military projects worth billions of dollars — an investment that the alliance's secretary-general, Mark Rutte, called “money well spent.” 

An energized Rutte was speaking to government ministers and defense industry officials at a forum billed as NATO’s “big reveal,” to the thrum of techno music and a slick video display.
