الخلفية
At the time of the 1957 summit, NATO countries were at what The New York Times and others labeled as a crucial "crossroads" in their relationship. The summit was designed as "a reconsideration of the relationship of the strategy for the defense of Western Europe", particularly in light of fading US nuclear superiority with regard to the Soviet Union.[2] The summit was considered to be the main American diplomatic response to the Russian launch of the orbiting Sputnik satellite.[3]
The unanimous agreement in principle to deploy intermediate range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) in Europe was counterbalanced by the decision to emphasize diplomatic negotiations with the Soviets. The ratification of this two-pronged strategy was one of the summit's accomplishments.[4] British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was the leader of those pushing for a "dual-track" approach in dealing with threats to international stability. He argued in favor of two separate, but parallel agendas—one military and the other political.[5]
The summit discussions resulted in a dilution of the defiant posture the Americans had argued for NATO to adopt.[6]

- Improving the coordination and organization of NATO forces;
- Improving the coordination and organization of political consultations; and
- Recognizing the need for closer economic ties;[1]
- Location of tactical nuclear weapons in member states as well as nuclear-free zones.[7]
