Washington plans largest US troop cut in Europe
NBC reports that the U.S. Department of Defense is studying a review of its strategy that could lead to the withdrawal of approximately 25,000 soldiers out of the current 80,000 stationed in Europe, in order to redirect resources to other fronts. This move comes amid concerns in Eastern European countries, particularly Poland and Romania, amidst escalating Russian threats and missile and drone attacks on Kyiv. The American military presence in Europe is seen as a cornerstone of NATO's deterrence, and Washington has reinforced its forces following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The review, which began in June, is expected to be completed by the end of the year and raises fears of geopolitical repercussions on regional security.
