There is increasing apprehension among Europeans regarding the potential withdrawal of US support from NATO, a sentiment that resonates with Americans as well. Amid fears of escalating conflict with Russia, the US has bolstered its military presence in Northern Europe, reinforcing its northern front. Despite ongoing military drills that suggest a commitment to European security, reports indicate that a troop withdrawal from Europe may be anticipated in the coming months. Former NATO officials emphasize the need for Europe and Canada to reduce their reliance on US military support, stressing the importance of regional self-sufficiency in addressing the looming threat.
