The Trump administration plans to reduce NATO's crisis response force, demanding that Europe take over security leadership On May 20th, according to informed sources, the Trump administration plans to inform NATO allies this week that the United States will reduce military forces available to assist European countries in major crises. According to the so-called 'NATO Force Model' framework, NATO member states determine a set of available forces that can be deployed in the event of conflict or any other major crisis, such as launching military attacks against NATO member states. According to sources, although the specific composition of these wartime forces is a highly confidential secret, the Pentagon has decided to significantly reduce its commitments. Trump has made it clear that he expects European countries to take over the primary responsibility for European security from the United States. The message to be sent to allies this week is a concrete signal that this policy is being implemented. Several details are currently unclear, such as how quickly the Pentagon plans to transfer responsibility for crisis mode to European allies. However, sources indicate that the Pentagon plans to announce its intention to reduce commitments at the Defense Policy Leaders' Meeting in Brussels on Friday.
