US reviews Europe military role
The United States announced the initiation of a review of its military presence in Europe, as part of its efforts to strengthen NATO's role, bolster its alliances, and reduce reliance on American forces. This comes in response to European countries' criticisms for refusing to allow the use of their bases in the war against Iran. The Deputy Secretary of Defense explained that the review aims to accelerate NATO's move toward greater self-reliance and achieve a more balanced military spending approach. The Allies have pledged to allocate 5% of their GDP to security spending by 2035, including 3.5% for military expenses. Additionally, the United States has threatened to cut its contributions if member states do not adhere to their financial responsibilities within the framework of collective defense strategy.
