NATO’s next challenge: How to reverse years of underfunding defense

The 75-year history of NATO can be described in three acts, each defined by existential threats to Western security. First, there was the Cold War and the Soviet threat. Act Two came in the 1990s and 2000s, when NATO deployed troops for the first time in Bosnia and Kosovo, followed by Afghanistan and Iraq.

He had just arrived in the U.S. to make his country’s case to the world and to Washington for continued help in trying to repel Russia’s invasion,...
