{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NATO says that U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with his counterparts in the military alliance for a summit in Brussels next July.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Friday that the summit will be held at the alliance's sprawling new headquarters near Brussels airport on July 11-12.
He said the meeting will strengthen "the bond between Europe and North America on which our alliance is founded, as we continue to adapt our alliance for the 21st century."
