NATO allies have reaffirmed their commitment to collective defense, with a summit declaration confirming an "ironclad commitment" to this principle. The declaration is seen as a sign of unity, although some reports suggest that this commitment was reaffirmed amid threats of troop withdrawal. The specifics of the commitment, including any potential changes to the alliance's strategy, are not entirely clear, with some outlets suggesting a long-term confrontation strategy and others focusing on the reaffirmation of existing commitments.
