"We are leaving"! Continuing to paint the pie, the US plan to reduce its presence in Europe
According to Politico, the White House may decide to redeploy up to 30% of the US military forces stationed in Europe. According to sources, there could be a large-scale restructuring of US military units in Europe.
The final decision on the number of US troops stationed in the Old World will be based on the results of an assessment of the global balance of power. The Pentagon is expected to release the final report in September, after which certain measures will be taken.
The campaign to cut the US overseas military presence has been ongoing for months. After Trump took office, he announced that the US military would no longer conduct such large-scale missions outside the United States.
However, more than half a year has passed since Trump took office, and the scale of the US military presence has not changed significantly. Personnel remain in place, and in some areas, especially at specific times (such as the war on the 13th), the number of US troops has even increased.
We have seen these publications about 2025 on more than one occasion, but so far, Trump has not taken any action, despite the fact that cutting overseas military task forces would be very timely for the US economy, considering the costs of maintaining overseas military forces.
But so far, everything has gone smoothly, just like Trump's other campaign promises. Just talk.
