Embattled Biden greets NATO allies in Washington
==========

U.S. President Joe Biden welcomes the heads of NATO member states to Washington for an annual summit. Biden, who is facing challenges at home and abroad, aims to demonstrate his leadership and commitment to restoring traditional alliances. The summit will focus on countering the threat of autocracies, supporting Ukraine, and strengthening NATO's collective security. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is attending the summit and seeks additional security guarantees for Ukraine. Biden's opening speech will highlight a stronger and more united NATO under Washington's leadership. Some NATO leaders express concern about Biden's staying power and seek reassurance. The summit will also address political uncertainty in Europe and offer Ukraine a "bridge to membership" with coordinated arms supplies and training. The leaders will discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the potential for future attacks. Biden's administration sees a stronger NATO as a tangible result for American voters, while Republicans believe NATO should do more. The summit provides Biden an opportunity to address concerns and strengthen alliances.
