Ionuț Moșteanu, the Minister of National Defense, addressed the topic of the withdrawal of some American troops from Romania, mentioning that NATO's defense strategy is constantly adapting to new realities.
The American troops, deployed in Europe after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, have been welcomed, and Europe has understood the need to invest in its own armed forces.
The United States is focusing its military efforts more towards the Indo-Pacific, recognizing that Europe is now more militarily prepared.
Furthermore, Romania is closely collaborating with allies, including France, which has a constant presence of soldiers in the country.
The American forces will remain unchanged at the bases in Deveselu and Câmpia Turzii, but at the Mihail Kogălniceanu base, a rotational brigade will no longer be deployed, resulting in a reduction of American forces on NATO's Eastern Flank.
