DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - Just like the five shots confidently dispatched to beat Switzerland on Saturday, England's conversion from one of the worst-performing countries in penalty shootouts to the current, confident unit, has nothing to do with luck.

The NATO summit, which starts Tuesday, was meant to celebrate the 75th anniversary of a Cold War-era alliance that has found new purpose in opposing Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. "Foreign leaders have seen Joe Biden up close and personal for the last three years. They know who they're dealing with," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.The prospect of a second Trump term alarms many of NATO’s 32 member countries, given his frequent criticism of the transatlantic alliance in and out of office.
Asked for comment, a Trump campaign spokesperson said:"We had four years of peace and prosperity under President Trump, but Europe saw death and destruction under Obama-Biden and now more death and destruction under Biden. President Trump got our allies to increase their NATO spending by demanding they pay up."
U.S. officials have said Ukraine is also likely to get"good news" at the summit on its appeal for more Patriot air defense systems.
