5 takeaways from Joe Biden's trip to two of the most productive foreign summits in years
CNN
President Joe Biden and his fellow NATO leaders departed a highly consequential summit Thursday that left the defense alliance larger, more muscular and more focused.
Yet after a pair of high-profile summit meetings in Europe this week, questions persist about Biden's ability to convince both his fellow leaders and the American public that the costs of supporting Ukraine and punishing Russia are still worth bearing.
Leader after leader at the two summits -- including Biden -- pledged to support Ukraine for "as long as it takes," but few were willing to offer an actual timeframe for an end to the conflict.

Former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, told staffers on the House Oversight Committee that former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised concerns to him in 2023 and 2024 about Biden’s political chances, two sources familiar with the matter said.
