Elbridge Colby, a Pentagon representative, visited Romania to discuss military presence and security in the Black Sea region. Romania seeks stronger U.S. involvement amid rising threats and has offered to cover costs for hosting American troops. The U.S. is reassessing its military strategy in Europe, emphasizing European allies' responsibilities. Colby advocates for a NATO model where Europe takes on more defense roles while the U.S. focuses on competition with China. Romania's challenge is to ensure its military capabilities align with these expectations, as it negotiates its contributions and the sustainability of U.S. commitments.
