US to cut NATO forces in Europe
The United States plans to reduce the number of fighter jets and warships allocated to NATO in Europe, decreasing the number of F-16 and F-15E aircraft from around 150 to 100, and reducing reconnaissance planes from 26 to 15, in addition to withdrawing tanker aircraft. The plan also includes reallocating a submarine, missiles, an aircraft carrier, and warships that were dedicated to defending Europe, without specifying a timeline for these changes. These steps are part of an American strategy to encourage Europeans to take greater responsibility for their security, amidst criticism from Trump and conflicting positions toward the alliance.
