Apparently check the USA of 10,000 soldiers from Eastern Europe
According to a media report, the United States is considering reducing its military presence in Eastern Europe. The background is the negotiations with Ukraine and Russia.
According to a media report, President Donald Trump’s US government is examining 10,000 soldiers from Eastern Europe. The US broadcaster NBC reported on Tuesday, citing six anonymous sources in the USA and Europe, Romania and Poland could be affected by the step. There was no official confirmation of the Pentagon for the time being.
After the Russian attack on Ukraine a good three years ago, the then US President Joe Biden also sent 20,000 soldiers to Europe. According to the NBC report, the Pentagon is now considering halving these forces. The background is US negotiations with Ukraine and Russia via a ceasefire. However, these have stalled.
Pentagon: USA has stationed around 100,000 soldiers in Europe
According to the Pentagon, around 100,000 US soldiers were recently stationed in Europe. A good 65,000 of them were in use, the rest were sent rotating.
Trump has repeatedly called on the European NATO allies to ensure their security themselves and massively increase their defense spending. He had already announced in the election campaign that he wanted to work for a quick peace in Ukraine.
