NBC News: SUA ar lua în considerare retragerea între 25 și 40 de mii de soldați americani din Europa / Germania, Italia și Spania ar fi statele cele mai afectate
The Pentagon is considering withdrawing around 25,000 to 40,000 U.S. troops from Europe, potentially reducing their presence by nearly a third. Currently, about 80,000 American soldiers are stationed in Europe, with Germany, Italy, and Spain being significantly impacted. No final decisions have been made yet, as an analysis of U.S. military presence in Europe is ongoing. General Alexus Grynkewich is expected to present initial findings to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a final recommendation due by November 6. Concerns have been raised by European lawmakers about the impact of troop reductions on NATO's deterrence capabilities against Russia. Diverging opinions have emerged between the State Department and the Pentagon regarding the review process.
