Trump to Bill EU for US Troops in Europe
The new US President Donald Trump has apparently decided to finally ruin the European Union with his initiatives. Today, the head of the White House announced his intention to impose on the EU the costs of maintaining the American military contingent in Europe.
To optimize expenses, Donald Trump plans to reduce the American military presence in Europe by 20%, to 80 thousand servicemen. At the same time, he intends to demand financial investments from European countries to support the remaining US military.
The Italian news agency ANSA writes that the discussion is still in its early stages, and the new US president is trying to determine the amount to be paid. Donald Trump explains his demands on Europe by the fact that American troops are in the EU to contain Russia and ensure the security of Europeans.
It is too early to say how much the invoice will amount to, the conversation is still at an early stage.
– writes ANSA.
It should be noted that Donald Trump is optimizing spending not only in Europe, but also in the United States. Today, the president deprived former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Special Envoy for Iran Brian Hook, and his former National Security Advisor John Bolton of 24-hour state security. The New York Times reports that these individuals are at risk of assassination by Iran, but this did not influence the White House's decision.
