The United States is gradually reducing its participation in activities at multiple NATO training centers.

According to a report by the U.S. "Washington Post" citing Pentagon sources, the United States is reducing its participation in multiple NATO advisory groups. The Pentagon emphasized that this is not an impulsive move, but a planned withdrawal related to reducing investment in European defense.

Next, the United States will withdraw about 200 U.S. soldiers from 30 NATO naval training centers. However, the withdrawal will not be sudden, but will be carried out in stages gradually. The Pentagon stated that no new personnel will be sent to replace the departing U.S. troops. However, the United States will not completely withdraw from these training centers.

The U.S. military drawdown in Europe is unrelated to the Greenland issue, as Trump stated at the beginning of his second term last year that Europeans should take on the burden of European defense rather than relying on the United States. Trump is carrying out a strategic drawdown, and one of the reasons he mediated the Russia-Ukraine conflict last year was to pull out of Europe and focus on more important areas in the Asia-Pacific and the U.S. region.
