Washington to Cut About 200 Seats in NATO Advisory Bodies, Signalling a Pullback from European Security

The U.S. Department of Defense will cut about 200 American positions from NATO advisory and planning bodies, reducing U.S. personnel in committees responsible for military planning and intelligence. The move signals a Trump administration push to recalibrate U.S. engagement in European defence, placing pressure on allies to assume greater responsibility and potentially accelerating European efforts at strategic autonomy.
