US to Review Military Presence in Europe, Reduce NATO Force Participation
Министр обороны США Пит Хегсет заявил на встрече глав оборонных ведомств стран НАТО, что Вашингтон в течение ближайших шести месяцев проведет масштабную ревизию своего военного присутствия в Европе. По его словам, европейские союзники должны взять на себя большую ответственность за собственную безопасность, поскольку эпоха американского «субсидирования» европейской обороны подходит к концу, пишет Би-Би-си. Хегсет также подтвердил, что США уже начали сокращать свое участие в С
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that Washington will conduct a comprehensive review of its military presence in Europe within the next six months. He stated that European allies must assume greater responsibility for their own security, signaling an end to the era of American "subsidization" of European defense. Hegseth also confirmed that the U.S. has begun reducing its participation in NATO's Response Force (ARF). While the total number of U.S. troops in Europe was not specified, the review will proceed in close coordination with Congress. This policy shift aligns with the Trump administration's focus on reallocating defense burdens within the alliance. The U.S. will also consider allies' willingness to grant overflight and base access when assessing its presence. Furthermore, the U.S. will press NATO members to increase defense spending.
The U.S. review of its military presence in Europe and reduction in NATO force participation signals a significant shift in defense responsibilities, urging European allies to increase their own security contributions.
