Europe has replaced most US cuts within Nato, top commander says

European Nato allies have mostly replaced the military assets that the United States cut from its contingency plans for a war in Europe, a top alliance commander said. Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe John Stringer made the statement ahead of Nato’s summit in Ankara next week. The meeting aims to ease tensions after recent U.S. announcements signaling a shift away from the continent. “European allies have definitely stepped up in terms of backfilling the adjustment in the U.S.,” Stringer said in an interview.
