Europe’s concern over Trump’s perspective on the security of the Green Continental

US media reported that European officials are concerned about White House plans for European security, referring to US President Donald Trump’s rise criticism against Ukrainian President Donald Trump.

According to the Washington Post, the Trump administration’s growing gap with European European allies and the possibility of a decline in the number of US troops on the Green continent has raised Europe’s concern about US adherence to its security support from the continent. European leaders are in an unreliable position and have many questions about Trump’s plans for US forces on the continent. Analysts believe that if the plan to withdraw US troops from Europe, its consequences will depend on the extent and speed of the project.

Most of all, European leaders do not want any possible reduction in the number of US troops as a result of a negotiation between Moscow and Washington. Trump’s increasing tendency to align with Russia has strengthened European nightmares to fulfill Russia’s will to leave NATO from Eastern Europe.

Camille Grand, a former NATO official, now operating in the European Foreign Relations Council, says Europe’s emphasis on the lack of security of the continent without the presence of European authorities is precisely the same.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegst recently met with EU officials that Washington may withdraw thousands of troops from Europe in the coming years, and that European European counterparts should expect a decline in its military presence because the US interests have changed and the Trump administration wants Europeans to be responsible for security.

Despite Trump’s government officials’ confidence that immediate withdrawal, his staggering changes in international alliances, including his latest meeting with the Ukrainian president, made the Europeans concluded that it is not possible to predict Trump’s final actions. At this critical juncture, the long -standing US partners are trying to balance, and while trying to attract Trump, they are preparing to deal with a hostile approach from the United States.

Europeans are struggling to strengthen their troops and provide billions of euros to modernize their weapons, which has prompted European leaders to warn serious warnings about the future of NATO and relations with the United States.

In addition, US Vice President Judd Venus has criticized European leaders for turning away from extremist right wing and also linked the future of US forces to future European policies, which has worried Europeans concerned about Washington’s intervention in their internal affairs. Germany hosts more than 6,000 US troops on numerous bases across the country, the largest number of US troops in Europe.

Trump has rejected the idea of ​​a complete withdrawal from US forces from Europe as part of a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and said in response to the question of whether there is a possibility of complete retreat, “I don’t think we have to do so. I don’t want to do it. This has never been raised really. ” However, some European officials have warned that NATO should be ready to withdraw from the eastern European borders.

According to US media reports, Russian officials emphasize the need to eliminate the “root cause” of the conflict as Trump talks with Russia to stop the war in Ukraine. Many Eastern European countries and the Baltic States in Russia’s neighborhood have significantly increased their defense budgets due to concern over the process of neutralizing NATO expansion.

According to European diplomats, the widespread US military presence in Europe is not merely to protect the continent, but rather a tool for displaying American power and providing Washington’s interests. The Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany is considered as a vital US center in Europe and has been regularly used for operations beyond the continent. However, the establishment of US troops in Europe has declined since the end of the Cold War; Of course, with the exception of a rise in the aftermath of the Ukrainian war in February.

US governments before Trump also warned Europeans that Washington’s priorities would be transferred to other areas, including to the Indian-Saram region; But European leaders have not yet prepared for these changes and did not expect the turn of US policy to happen so quickly.

In addition, analysts believe that if European forces are sent to Ukraine after the war to support the ceasefire, this may make efforts to fill the vacuum caused by the withdrawal of US forces. In addition to the US and NATO base forces in Europe, according to the European Command, the number of US troops in Europe has varied between 6,000 and 6,000 since the year 6, of which about 6,000 are permanently stationed in the area, but others are being moved periodically.

In countries that have long relied on US support to contain Russian power, there is concern whether these countries will continue to support US support in the event of a crisis in the future?

The end of the Cold War, which was supposed to promise a quieter world, led to the decline in the European forces of the European countries such as Britain and Germany, as many governments were no longer focused on weapons systems in their investments. However, European governments have increased their military spending in recent years, and some analysts believe that if Trump excludes an American type, these countries will not be destroyed, but the change of military trends is not easy.
