Expert: US presence in Europe will decrease, but timing and scale unclear
Security expert Olga Olikere states that the US military presence in Europe will gradually diminish, though the exact extent and timeline remain unknown.
The Trump administration's announcements regarding the American military presence in Europe have been chaotic and confusing, security expert Olga Olikere said in an interview with Latvian Television.
According to her, decisions and plans are constantly changing. However, one thing is certain: over time, the US presence in Europe will shrink. What remains unclear is how much and when this reduction will occur.
Olikere's assessment highlights the uncertainty surrounding Washington's role in European security, which is causing concern among regional states.
