Pentagon Policy Chief Calls For Nato Alliance Reform
The US Pentagon’s policy chief, Elbridge Colby, has told NATO allies that the US wants a European-led defense of the continent. The announcement comes as part of a six-month review of US troop deployments in Europe, which aims to enable a more European-led defense. Colby praised progress within the alliance and emphasized the importance of consultations and engagement. The review has fueled questions among European officials about the US administration’s intentions, but diplomats described the discussion as positive and preliminary. The development was reported by The Jerusalem Post.
