“President Donald Trump could reduce the number of US troops in Europe.”
Globalinfo.az reports that Politico published the information.
The aim is to secure European countries’ support for Washington’s plan to settle the war in Ukraine:
“There is no serious certainty that US pressure on its allies within NATO will ease. Even if Republicans lose the midterm congressional elections, it is assumed that Washington will not change its tough stance toward Europe.
It is reported that Democrats’ blocking of Trump’s domestic policy initiatives may prompt the US president to turn his attention to foreign policy and demand additional concessions from European allies.”
According to the report, the Pentagon must complete its reassessment of the US military deployment in Europe by December:
“Following that, the Trump administration may reduce the American military contingent on the continent and also cut the US financial contribution to NATO’s overall budget.”
