The US will withdraw many times less of its forces from Europe than previously planned - mass media.
Pentagon leadership has realized how much the US military relies on troops deployed across Europe to project US power in the Middle East, the sources added.
One of the interlocutors noted that the Allies now expect an overall reduction in the number of American soldiers by approximately 5,000 people. Currently, the number of American troops in Europe is approximately 80,000.
Most of the cuts in American forces will be in Germany, where the largest American force is stationed. The eastern wing will be strengthened, with countries bordering Russia offering to bear some of the costs.
