NATO 3.0? Trump Orders Massive Review, US Troops in Europe Under Scanner | Times Now World

The United States has officially launched a comprehensive 'Europe Posture Review' to reassess its military footprint across the continent, signaling a historic shift in transatlantic security. Initiated by the Department of War under the direction of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and announced by Under Secretary Elbridge Colby, the six-month strategic audit aims to accelerate NATO's transition toward 'NATO 3.0'—an alliance where European nations assume primary responsibility for their own conventional defense. The review, heavily backed by President Donald Trump's administration, will scrutinize US troop deployments, military bases, air power, and naval assets. While Washington seeks to strengthen partnerships with proactive allies like Poland, other nations face potential troop reductions, with plans already underway to withdraw thousands of US forces from Germany as America shifts its strategic focus to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. #nato #trump #petehegseth #elbridgecolby #usmilitary #europeandefense #pentagon #geopolitics #timesnowworld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
