The US military has announced a drawdown of troops stationed in Eastern Europe, including Romania. This move, described as an adjustment, has sparked significant pushback from Republican lawmakers, who criticize the decision as contrary to previous defense strategies. While the Pentagon insists that it remains committed to NATO and has not fully withdrawn troops from Europe, the reduction in numbers has raised concerns about a potential security vacuum in the region. The 101st Airborne Division is among those units being withdrawn, further complicating the security landscape as Europe grapples with shifting military priorities.
