US Defense Secretary Hegseth: Europe Over-relies on US; NATO Needs Overhaul
Ameriško obrambno ministrstvo bo v pol leta preverilo, ali je Evropa pripravljena sama prevzeti obrambo Stare celine.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Pentagon will review the presence of American forces in Europe over the next six months. He criticized NATO allies for not supporting the US operation in Iran, deeming it a failure of alliance solidarity. Hegseth called for a 'NATO 3.0' transformation, urging the alliance to return to its core mission of credible deterrence and conventional defense. He criticized wealthy member states for over-reliance on US protection while failing to meet obligations, and for lacking credible plans for defense spending. Hegseth stated that many allies have not fulfilled their spending promises, and some need to do more, noting that Slovenia has not met the 2% GDP defense spending target.
US Defense Secretary Hegseth's call for a European defense overhaul and criticism of NATO allies' solidarity signals a potential shift in transatlantic security dynamics.
