The coronavirus pandemic not only failed to produce a joint transatlantic response but also compelled NATO to cancel a number of military exercises.

The pandemic gives Allies renewed impetus to strengthen resilience and NATO to complement the national efforts in doing so, argues Henrik Larsen in this CSS Corona Blog.
