The US is scaling back its military presence in Eastern Europe, with Romania confirming plans to withdraw some American troops stationed at bases like Mihail Kogalniceanu. While around 1,000 US soldiers will remain in Romania, the move signals a strategic shift as Washington prioritizes domestic and Indo-Pacific security. 🚨

But Eastern European allies, wary of reduced American support, are watching closely. Meanwhile, former US President Trump hinted at boosting troops in Poland—a twist in the geopolitical chessboard. 🧩

Romania’s defense ministry emphasized that NATO’s strengthened eastern presence allows the US to "adjust its posture." Still, the move raises questions: Will Europe step up its defense spending? How will this impact regional security dynamics? Stay tuned as the story unfolds. 🔍
