NATO leaders gather for historic summit

The World
President Joe Biden meets with Spain's King Felipe VI and the Spanish delegation at the Royal Palace of Madrid in Madrid, Tuesday, June 28, 2022. 

NATO members are gathering in Madrid for what many are calling the most important summit in at least a generation. From the war in Ukraine to the threat of China’s rising power, much is at stake. And, as leaders prepare for the NATO summit this week we look at the outsized role of the US within NATO and its direct support of Ukraine’s military. Plus, language learning app Duolingo recently added a course in Haitian Creole for English speakers. The course helps Haiti’s diaspora communities reconnect with the mother tongue of families and ancestors.
