Hegseth said on Saturday that, as the Trump administration intensifies its lethal efforts against South American drug cartels, some U.S. military forces currently stationed in Europe could be redeployed to the Western Hemisphere, with the United States seeking to "expand its presence and footprint in Central and South America alongside partner nations." The U.S. currently maintains no major military bases in South America. Hegseth also expressed a desire for greater burden-sharing in Europe. Earlier, during his "Defense Posture" address on Wednesday, Hegseth invited state governors to bid for their states to become the site of the next great American military installation.
