NATO allies will showcase surging defense spending at a summit in Turkey’s capital Ankara on Tuesday as they hope to appease President Donald Trump after his fury over Europe’s response to the war with Iran.

In a bid to impress Trump, NATO has lined up a series of headline-grabbing figures. “This is showtime,” a senior European diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
