Reuters: Pentagonul pregătește scenariile pentru forțele americane din Europa. Cel puțin patru variante, pe masă

The Pentagon is preparing at least four options regarding the future deployment of U.S. troops in Europe, to be presented to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth by early November. This evaluation, announced in June, raises concerns among NATO allies about potential significant troop reductions. A meeting involving the highest U.S. general in Europe and Pentagon officials is crucial for determining these options. The assessment aims to address the U.S. military resource allocation in Europe and the expectation for European NATO members to take on more defense responsibilities. Additionally, the U.S. has sent questions to NATO allies to gauge their support for its foreign policy, which some allies view as an ideological alignment demand.
