Trade offs on troop deployments & arms sales aren’t unusual but tend to be less overt, I told @afpal.bsky.social @bloomberg.com about the U.S. force review in Europe. A process is helpful but the administration seems to rely on loyalty, ideology & the president’s whim rather than strategy.

SCOOP- The US is asking NATO allies for public ideological loyalty to Trump's policies as a factor in the review of US troops in Europe. In a doc I saw the US asks if they: 🔴"publicly support" US foreign policy (incl. Iran) 🔴restricted US military base use 🔴spend money with US defense companies 1/2

Lacking troops, air defenses and ammo, Europe’s front-line defenses are only equipped to repel an invasion from Russia for weeks at best without the US, defense officials told us. Even a reduced presence would also have an impact. Read our deep dive: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
