Lituania a trecut „evaluarea” Pentagonului privind bazele din Europa. SUA trimit trupe de rotație • Newsweek România

Lithuania is set to receive a new rotation of U.S. troops, confirming its strategic defense role in the region. President Gitanas Nausėda expressed gratitude to the U.S. administration for this commitment. The previous troop rotation ended in June, leaving Lithuania without American armored battalions for the first time since 2020. Amid rising tensions due to the war in Ukraine, Lithuania has significantly increased its military budget, projected to reach 5.4% of its GDP this year. Concerns about potential Russian military provocations in the Baltic region have also been raised, highlighting the importance of U.S. support.
