US Presence in Europe Under Review Amid Shift to Western Hemisphere
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has announced that the US is considering redeploying some of its troops from Europe to the Western Hemisphere, as part of an expanded presence in Central and South America. The move is part of a broader review of the US military presence in Europe, aimed at giving NATO allies more responsibility for conventional defense. The US has been increasing its efforts against drug cartels in Latin America, with recent operations in Ecuador and other countries. The review is expected to be completed in December, according to The Hill.
