Hegseth announces review of US force posture in Europe

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told NATO Thursday the Pentagon will conduct a review of its force presence in Europe within the next six months, as Washington pressures allies to step up their defenses.

"I'm announcing today a six month Department of War review that will examine America's force posture and basing in Europe -- up to six months, could be less," Hegseth told a meeting of NATO defense ministers.
