Romania’s Defence Ministry has confirmed that the United States plans to reduce its troop presence on NATO’s eastern flank. Around 900 to 1,000 American soldiers will remain—down from 1,700—as Washington refocuses military priorities under President Donald Trump toward the Indo-Pacific. Romanian officials said the move was expected, while U.S. allies in Eastern Europe expressed concern over the implications for regional security amid ongoing Russian threats. NATO reaffirmed that U.S. commitment to the alliance remains firm despite the troop “resizing.”
