The United States plans to reduce military assets allocated to NATO operations in Europe.
The Trump administration notified NATO allies in early June of plans to cut air and naval assets assigned to European defense, including fighter jets, surveillance aircraft, refueling tankers, an aircraft carrier, a submarine, and a bomber group. Officials stated the move is intended to shift U.S. focus toward the Indo-Pacific and reduce alliance dependence on American forces. NATO's supreme allied commander said the alliance is weighing alternative defense plans and called on European allies and Canada to fill the resulting gaps.
