Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said the 30-nation military alliance aims to set aside the divisions of the Trump era and focus on the security challenges posed by Russia and China.

Mr Stoltenberg said that Nato leaders are meeting on Monday “at a pivotal moment for our alliance, and today we’ll open a new chapter in our trans-Atlantic relationship”.
