Foreign media: The United States plans to cut about 200 positions at NATO command centers, and this decision has been notified to some European countries. Affected institutions include the NATO Intelligence Fusion Center in the UK, the Allied Special Operations Command in Brussels, and STRIKFORNATO in Portugal.
This move does not mean that the United States will withdraw in large numbers from Europe. There are still about 80,000 U.S. troops stationed in Europe, with nearly half in Germany. However, this decision may increase European concerns about the United States' commitment to NATO, especially against the backdrop of the Trump administration's recent demands for Europe to take on most of NATO's conventional defense capabilities by 2027, and its attempt to acquire Greenland, which has sparked controversy.
NATO stated that personnel adjustments by the United States are not uncommon, and the scale of the U.S. presence in Europe has reached a high point in recent years.
