This article focuses on the new steps on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) expansion. The U.S. arms industry has been actively lobbying for NATO expansion. Its target is the U.S. Senate, where a two-thirds vote will be required to ratify any new members. Some senators have grumbled about the costs of expansion and the wisdom of extending a U.S. commitment to defend these countries-with nuclear weapons if necessary. There was a meet at Kecskemet, where a three-day military aviation show had been arranged and paid for by various American and European military contractors hoping to cash in on NATO expansion.
