The reduction of American forces in Europe is expected to be smaller than feared.

The reduction of US military forces in Europe is likely to be on a smaller scale than European leaders estimated. This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency from Mekorot.

According to the data in their hands, the number of American forces in Europe now stands at about 80 thousand people. The US's European allies feared that Washington would choose to withdraw about 25,000 Israeli soldiers, and now they expect a reduction of only about 5,000 people, the agency notes.
