A week ago, US Secretary for Defense, Beit Higseth, said that President Trump’s administration did not plan to reduce US levels in Europe as soon as possible, but stressed that the responsibility for preserving the preservation of Europe is exempt from attack should not fall on Washington alone.

HIGSETH highlighted – during his visit to American military leaders in Africa, which is located in Germany – that European countries must increase their defensive expenses, claiming that “logical matter is that these countries defend the European continent and the United States by them with help. “

He stressed that it is wrong to consider that the United States “will abandon something and leave”, saying that “America is intelligent”, as he said.

According to the United States Ministry of Defense (Pentagon), around 100,000 American soldiers are distributed throughout Europe and more than a third of them are stationed in Germany.

But at the end of his first mandate, Trump sought to reduce American forces in Berlin following disputes with German officials, a stage that his military leaders managed to slow down and avoid them at the end.

This comes in the light of the concerns of European leaders concerning the reduction of American aid on Ukraine and to impose a ceasefire for Russia, in particular after Trump’s call on NATO (NATO ) to increase defense spending, an essential invitation to its electoral campaign, considering that Washington “protects the NATO countries which do not protect the United States.”
