NATO is reducing the number of meetings involving alliance leaders and ministers amid disagreements over defense funding, as well as conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, the Associated Press reports.

The NATO summit planned to take place in Albania in 2027 has been cancelled. However, Tirana hopes to host the event in 2028.

The cuts will also affect other alliance events, including meetings of defense and foreign ministers. In particular, the planned meeting of the defense ministers in October 2027 was cancelled.
