Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the functioning of NATO in 2017: firstly, the conditions of the cooperation between the allies, with particular focus on the impact of Donald Trump’s election as President of the US on the debates within NATO and the organization’s activities. Secondly, the article covers the Alliance’s “mini-summit” in Brussels on the occasion of the launch of its new headquarters, as well as the actions taken to develop NATO capabilities to perform effective deterrence and collective defence tasks, including the implementation of the Enhanced Forward Presence initiative. Finally, the author also discusses the Alliance’s missions and operations in 2017, particularly the engagement in Afghanistan (Operation Resolute Support) and in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS), as well as the evolution of NATO cooperation with external partners.
