💨 Abstract

European leaders are concerned about Donald Trump's decision to withdraw thousands of U.S. troops from Germany, seeing it as a sign that Europe must bolster its own security. The move, which caught NATO off guard, is linked to Trump's frustration over European allies' reluctance to engage in Middle Eastern conflicts. Experts warn that Europe is not yet capable of replacing U.S. defense support and must strengthen its capabilities, particularly to deter potential Russian threats.
