Trump and Hegseth explore four-path European troop plan as NATO braces for retaliation
TL;DR Summary
A Pentagon review led by Pete Hegseth will outline at least four U.S. troop dispositions in Europe by November 6 as Trump presses NATO allies to shoulder more defense burden; European leaders fear significant reductions of the roughly 80,000 U.S. troops on the continent and potential retaliation over the Iran conflict, while the process expands access/basing/overflight considerations to space and cyber and surveys allies’ willingness to loosen restrictions.
