Biden Arrives in Lithuania Ahead of NATO Summit in Vilnius

US President Joe Biden has arrived in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, for the annual NATO summit which starts on Tuesday. Russia’s war in Ukraine will top the agenda when Biden and his NATO counterparts hold talks. They are expected to focus on ensuring that Ukraine has support as long as the conflict continues, how to bring the country even closer to NATO without actually joining, and security guarantees Kyiv might need to ensure that Russia doesn’t invade again after the war ends. The leaders meeting in Vilnius are set to endorse new defence plans in case Russian President Vladimir Putin tries to broaden Moscow’s war beyond Ukraine and westward into allied territory. They will also weigh defence spending, and how to boost their budgets as aid to Ukraine eats into national military coffers. -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: Bloomberg Quicktake brings you globa
