ME News Report, May 20 (UTC+8), according to informed sources, the Trump administration plans to notify NATO allies this week that the United States will reduce its military forces available to assist European countries in major crises. Under the so-called "NATO Force Model" framework, NATO member countries identify a pool of available forces that can be deployed during conflicts or any other major crises (such as military attacks against NATO member states). Sources say that while the specific composition of these wartime forces is highly confidential, the Pentagon has decided to significantly cut its commitments. Trump has explicitly stated that he expects European countries to take on the primary responsibility for European security. The message to allies this week is a concrete signal that this policy is being implemented. It is not yet clear how many details, such as how quickly the Pentagon plans to transfer crisis mode responsibilities to European allies, will be revealed. However, sources indicate that the Pentagon plans to announce its intention to cut commitments at the defense policy leaders' meeting in Brussels on Friday. (Source: ODAILY)
