Siasat NATO Rayu AS di Turkiye: Tiga Perkara Trump, Erdogan Jadi "Obat" Prahara?

Share your appreciation here: https://apresiasi.kompas.com/special The NATO Summit, held in Ankara, Turkey, on July 7-8, 2026, is a crucial test of alliance solidarity, especially with the presence of Donald Trump, who brings three sensitive agendas: policy tensions regarding Iran, the defense budget gap, and continued military support for Ukraine. Amidst Trump's uncertainty, NATO has high hopes for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to act as a mediator capable of defusing tensions without undue pressure, leveraging their close personal relationship to maintain alliance integrity. The close relationship between Erdoğan and Trump is seen as a strategic opportunity for Turkey to play the role of diplomatic bridge amidst strained transatlantic relations. While this friendship offers the benefit of political legitimacy and recognition of Turkey's military capabilities, the effectiveness of this role will be tested in a forum involving 32 NATO members and representatives of various partner countries from the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, making the Ankara Summit a pivotal point for the alliance's future direction.
