Washington evaluates European defense commitment

U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby participated in an NATO meeting in Brussels, where he informed European allies of the need to further strengthen their commitment to defending their continent. He emphasized that Europe, which is wealthy and capable of bearing responsibility, should primarily take charge of its traditional defense obligations. This comes in accordance with a review conducted since July, based on two deadlines set by the United States in June, during which Europe was urged to increase its defense spending to 5% of its GDP by 2035. These steps follow a decline in the American role in Europe, including the withdrawal of troops from Germany and reductions in NATO resource contributions, as Washington seeks to decrease reliance on Americans and share the burden more fairly.
