NATO Commander Doesn't Expect Further U.S. Troop Withdrawals Soon
NATO's top military commander, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, stated he doesn't anticipate further U.S. troop withdrawals from Europe in the near term, despite allies pressing him to fill gaps left by Donald Trump's decision to pull thousands of soldiers. Grynkewich noted that redeployments are an ongoing process that will take several years, with European allies tasked with building capacity to replace U.S. forces and equipment.
