President Donald Trump plans to pull about 20,000 U.S. troops from Europe, according to a leading Italian news agency.
A European diplomatic source told ANSA that Trump, who entered office on Monday for a second term, wants to reduce the American contingent in Europe by about 20 percent and plans to ask for a “financial contribution” for the maintenance of the remaining troops.
Fair enough. The less US military presence in Europe the better. We shouldn’t be reliant on the US for our security needs. European and NATO nations need to make sure they’re pulling their weight.
That’s easier said than done. We have too few people in the military and our equipment is old and sparse.
Well gettchyo ass in gear and join the party for your own good
Sounds like military spending is gonna have to go up then!
