Ambasadorul SUA cere modernizarea infrastructurii pentru mutarea rapidă a trupelor spre Estul Europei • Newsweek România

The U.S. ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, emphasized the need for modernizing military infrastructure to facilitate rapid troop movements from Western to Eastern Europe. Speaking at a security forum in Warsaw, he highlighted outdated military bases and supply chains as areas needing attention. Whitaker noted that Europe ranks fourth in U.S. strategic priorities, following domestic security, the Western Hemisphere, and the Pacific. He warned that European nations must enhance their military capabilities, as Russia may pose a threat to NATO members by the decade's end. Whitaker also criticized countries not meeting defense spending commitments, urging them to strengthen their armed forces while advocating for greater European military independence from the U.S.
