Trump: "US may reduce the number of troops in Europe"
![]() 321 Thursday, 10 April, 2025, 09:51 US President Donald Trump has said that it is not ruled out that the number of US troops in Europe could be reduced. When asked by reporters whether he has plans to reduce the number of US troops stationed in Europe, he said, "Well, good. I mean, it depends." "We pay for military over in Europe, you know. We don't get reimbursed by much South Korea too. So, it would be one of the things we discussed that's unrelated to trade, but I think we'll make it part of it (trade talks - TASS), because it makes sense. It’d be nice to wrap it all up in one package for each country," he said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the United States has not yet worked out a decision on the levels of further US military presence in Europe, it will be taken following the results of talks with Moscow. Earlier, NBC reported, citing US and European officials, that the Pentagon is considering withdrawing up to 10,000 troops from Eastern Europe. According to their information, this is about half of the 20,000-strong contingent sent by the previous US administration to the countries bordering Ukraine in 2022. |
