Europe Prepares For Reduced US Military Presence
The Nato summit in Ankara has highlighted Europe’s growing concerns about its defense capabilities in the face of reduced US military presence. With the US signaling its intention to decrease its numbers in Europe, European governments are being forced to re-evaluate their defense spending and strategies. According to Dan Sabbagh, the Guardian’s defence and security editor, Europe has finally recognized that it can no longer rely on the US for protection and is starting to build its own defense capabilities. This was reported by The Guardian.
