Judy Dempsey: NATO and EU agree to end their rivalry
President of the European Council Donald Tusk (L), NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg (C) and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker (R) react after signing the EU-NATO Joint Declaration at the NATO summit in Warsaw, Poland, on July 8, 2016. The Polish capital Warsaw hosts a two-day top-level NATO meeting, first time since Poland joined the alliance in 1999.
It has taken five major crises to convince the EU and NATO that it was time to set aside their differences and cooperate. This is what they announced just before NATO leaders began their summit on July 8–9 in the Polish capital of Warsaw.
