特朗普政府拟缩减北约危机响应部队，要求欧洲接棒安全主导权

Odaily reported that according to sources familiar with the matter, the Trump administration plans to inform NATO allies this week that the United States will reduce its military forces available to assist European members of the alliance in major crises. Under the so-called "NATO Force Model" framework, NATO member states identify available forces that can be deployed in the event of a conflict or any other major crisis, such as a military attack on a NATO member state. Sources said that while the specific composition of these wartime forces is a closely guarded secret, the Pentagon has decided to significantly cut its commitments. Trump has made it clear that he expects European nations to take over the primary responsibility for European security from the United States. The message to be conveyed to allies this week is a concrete signal that this policy is being implemented. Several details remain unclear, such as how quickly the Pentagon plans to transfer crisis response responsibilities to European allies. However, sources indicated that the Pentagon intends to announce its intention to reduce its commitments at a meeting of defense policy chiefs in Brussels on Friday. (Jin Shi)
