NATO member states met in Ankara, Turkey, to discuss the lack of defense capabilities in Europe and the changing strategic partnership with the United States.

北約成員國在土耳其安卡拉會面，討論歐洲缺乏防禦能力以及與美國不斷變化的戰略夥伴關係。

The summit took place as the U.S. reduced its military presence in Europe by withdrawing army brigades and canceling missile deployments. This change happened because the Trump administration is focusing more on the Indo-Pacific region and wants European allies to take more responsibility for their own defense. Consequently, the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Ukraine have formed the 'Deep Precision Strike Coalition' to develop their own long-range weapons and reduce their dependence on the U.S. Furthermore, a shortage of U.S. missile interceptors, caused by previous conflicts in Iran, has left Europe and Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian attacks.

本次峰會舉行之際，美國正透過撤走陸軍旅並取消導彈部署，來減少在歐洲的軍事存在。這項改變是因為川普政府更專注於印太地區，並希望歐洲盟友在防禦方面承擔更多責任。因此，英國、德國、法國、荷蘭與烏克蘭組成了「深層精確打擊聯盟」，以研發自身的長程武器並減少對美國的依賴。此外，由於先前與伊朗的衝突導致美國導彈攔截機短缺，使得歐洲與烏克蘭更容易受到俄羅斯的攻擊。

At the same time, the alliance is dealing with internal disagreements. President Trump expressed disappointment that some European nations did not provide enough support during the Iran conflict. However, relations with Turkey are improving, and the U.S. is considering selling F-35 aircraft to Ankara. To meet U.S. demands, member states agreed to spend 5% of their GDP on defense by 2035 and announced contracts worth over $70 billion. Turkey has emphasized its role as a key provider of defense technology, specifically highlighting its 'Tayfun' missiles and drones.

與此同時，該聯盟正處理內部分歧。川普總統對部分歐洲國家在伊朗衝突期間未提供足夠支持表示失望。然而，與土耳其的關係正在改善，美國正考慮向安卡拉出售 F-35 戰機。為了滿足美國要求，成員國同意在 2035 年前將國防開支提高至 GDP 的 5%，並宣布了價值超過 700 億美元的合約。土耳其強調其作為防禦技術關鍵供應商的角色，特別地提到了其「泰風」導彈與無人機。

Regarding the war in Ukraine, the conflict has become a struggle of endurance. Ukrainian forces have improved their long-range attacks, hitting an oil refinery in Siberia and tankers in the Sea of Azov. In response, Russia has increased its bombing of Kyiv to intimidate NATO allies. Although President Zelenskyy is asking for NATO membership and the right to produce Patriot missiles locally, the alliance is still hesitant to admit a country that is currently fighting a nuclear-armed power.

關於烏克蘭戰爭，這場衝突已演變成一場耐力賽。烏克蘭軍隊提升了長程打擊能力，擊中了西伯利亞的煉油廠及亞速海的油輪。作為回應，俄羅斯增加了對基輔的轟炸以恐嚇北約盟友。儘管澤倫斯基總統要求加入北約以及獲准在當地生產愛國者導彈，但該聯盟對於接納一個目前正與核武國家交戰的國家仍持猶豫態度。

The current security situation is marked by Europe's move toward independence in defense and a difficult diplomatic effort to keep the alliance together despite different national goals.

目前的安全局勢以歐洲邁向防禦自主，以及在不同國家目標下，外交上艱難地嘗試維持聯盟團結為特徵。
