In Brussels, Elbridge Colby, the head of Pentagon policies, emphasized the importance of NATO relying on partnerships, not dependency, during discussions with defense ministers. The absence of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth raises questions about the U.S. commitment to NATO, in the context of tensions between President Trump and European allies.

Colby assured that there is a solid foundation for collaboration with Europeans, highlighting that European countries are taking on more responsibilities in defense. NATO recently announced the transfer of command positions to European officers, highlighting a shift in the alliance's balance. Colby is associated with the policy of reducing the American military presence in Europe, in favor of concentrating resources in the Indo-Pacific region.
