Withdrawal of US troops from Europe

The United States intends to accelerate the withdrawal of its military contingent from European countries, the German newspaper Welt reports, citing a source in the US Department of Defense.

It is noted that a reduction in the number of troops in Europe is being considered in case the United States participates in several military conflicts at the same time. At the same time, as it is specified, Washington can benefit in more favorable geopolitical conditions, as this will allow it to act more flexibly.

"If we end up in a less stressful situation, it will provide us with additional flexibility," the source said.
