Finland demanded a map of US troops from Europe
The Finnish defense minister said that NATO European couries should ask the United States to provide a clear and clear roadmap that shows how the US forces exit the green coine.
“If Americans are changing the balance in the Pacific region in terms of conveional defense capabilities, we need to have a joi plan with the US.
He also called for a clear and transpare roadmap from Washington so that there was no opportunity for Russia to try something and coinued, US plans must be coordinated with EU initiatives to strengthen the union’s military capacity.
The Finnish Defense Minister’s remarks reflected the remarks of German defense minister Boris Pistorius, who had asked his US couerpart Pitt Hegst last moh to submit a roadmap if US troops were transferred from Europe to the Indian-Pacific region, which is to avoid gaps in capacities and gradually organize responsibility.
The German defense minister has said that the White House or US Secretary of Defense has not yet responded.
European couries are trying to regulate the European military system because the Donald Trump administration has waged an economic war against the European Union, is improving relations with Russia, warning that it may not defend NATO allies and threaten to attack Greenland.
Armika Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, who is a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, rejected concerns about the US commitme to the coalition, calling it “emotional”.
NATO Secretary -General Mark Route also argued that there was no surprise within the coalition and that any US approach to Asia would be in a very coordinated manner.
The Finnish Secretary of Defense also agreed with US argumes about the need to change the position to Asia, saying, “The message I receive from the Americans and from the Peagon is that we must understand their concern about China’s military increase in the Indian and Pacific region.”
He we on to warn, but any withdrawal of US troops from Europe constitutes risks to the green coine, especially those close to Russia.
“Europe is very weak without US military and defense capabilities, and this weakness must be offset by Europe’s own capabilities,” said the Dutch Defense Minister, who has a joi border with Russia.
Finland joined NATO two years ago following a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The European Union is playing a greater role in the military to preve Russian threats from Russia, as its dependence on US military and security support may no longer guaraee its security.
The Finnish Secretary of Defense also noted that the European Commission’s plans, which could poteially provide € 5 billion in military spending by facilitating national financial laws and providing € 5 billion in defense loans, are on the right track to strengthen the EU defense by year 2.
“Americans wa to see clear European decisions,” the official said at the Finnish Ministry of Defense, saying that EU leaders are expected to announce their positions on June.
