Pentagon to give Hegseth four troop options for Europe by November 6
–
Neutral summary
The Pentagon will present Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth with at least four sets of options for U.S. troop deployments in Europe by November 6, well ahead of the December deadline for the six-month review, according to a document seen by Reuters. Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby told NATO ambassadors that the alliance must change and that Washington wants to “advance and accelerate” the transfer of responsibility for most of Europe’s own conventional defense. In recent weeks, the U.S. sent NATO members a questionnaire covering defense spending, strategy, procurement and support for U.S. foreign policy priorities. Allies worry the review, announced in June, could lead to large-scale cuts to the roughly 80,000 U.S. forces across Europe and punish countries President Donald Trump believes failed to support the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
