It will be the end of a summit marathon: On Tuesday, the heads of state and government of the 30 NATO members met in Madrid, where King Felipe VI. received her for the gala dinner. Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi and French President Emmanuel Macron are seeing each other for the third time as part of the defense alliance – after the EU summit in Brussels and the G-7 round at Schloss Elmau.
