US to shift defense strategy

Post by Daniel Ravenswaay »

While it is not clear yet what will happen, they do talk about scaling down the US presence from Europe and shifting focus on Asia (China/Iran). Could this perhaps mean closure of US airbases???

Een van de maatregelen behelst het terugbrengen van de Amerikaanse militaire aanwezigheid in Europa. Het zwaartepunt verschuift richting Azië, hoewel de banden met de NAVO hieronder niet zullen lijden

US ground troops in Germany are likely to be scaled back by at least 30%.
