Bloomberg's Oliver Crook reports from the NATO summit in Ankara, where US strikes on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz blockade are looming over discussions. Leaders face friction over Greenland and US demands for 5% GDP defense spending. A key takeaway is the signing of $50 billion in defense contracts, with European allies increasingly replacing Boeing aircraft with Saab jets to keep more spending at home, signaling a shift in procurement away from US defense firms.

Europe shifts defense spend to Saab from Boeing
European NATO allies are shifting defense procurement away from US suppliers like Boeing toward European manufacturers like Saab, as they want to spend more of the increased defense budgets at home rather than across the Atlantic. $50 billion in contracts were signed at the industry forum, and allies are replacing old Boeing aircraft with European aircraft from Saab, reflecting a structural preference for local defense industry.
