US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said today that U.S. could potentially reduce the number of troops it has stationed in Europe in a peace deal with Russia about Ukraine. Hegseth was asked today whether Europe should be prepared for the US to cut the 100,000 troop numbers it has deployed on the continent, and he appeared to link deployments to negotiations about Ukraine. “We have not said in any way we are abandoning our allies in Europe. There have been no decisions on troop levels, but that’s a discussion to be had by the commander-in-chief in these high-stakes negotiations,” Hegseth said. Russia gave the U.S. an ultimatum 2 months before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, demanding all NATO forces to be withdrawn from all areas east of Berlin if Russia was not to invade Ukraine.
