No risk of US troops withdrawing from NATO’s eastern flank, Romanian president says

Romanian president Nicușor Dan said on Wednesday, July 8, in Ankara, that he does not see a risk of US troops withdrawing from NATO’s eastern flank, implicitly from Romania.

The topic of a troop withdrawal has been floated since Donald Trump became president of the United States. His administration has continuously argued that European NATO members must up their defence spending, instead of counting on the United States to shoulder the alliance's military expenses.
