According to Ukrinform, Bloomberg stated this in an article. The sources said that the Trump administration’s planned reduction of US troops stationed across Europe to approximately 80,000 would be smaller than the continent’s leaders had feared. European allies had previously feared that the United States might cut its troop presence to 25,000. However, a smaller reduction now appears more likely, as the US has responded positively to increased defense spending within NATO, according to sources who asked not to be identified. Pentagon leadership has also come to recognize how heavily the US military relies on forces stationed across Europe to project American power in the Middle East, where the war with Iran continues, the sources said.
