What concerns does Europe have regarding US troop presence in the Baltic states?
Europe is concerned that US President Donald Trump may scale back or entirely withdraw American troops from the region, particularly from the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, where over 5,000 US soldiers are currently stationed. This potential withdrawal has sent shockwaves across the continent as European officials view it as a major security risk. With the war in Ukraine raging, NATO faces its biggest test yet, and Europe stands at a crossroads. The possible abandonment of this security commitment by the US creates significant anxiety among European nations who see such withdrawals as potentially emboldening Russia and weakening the collective defense structure at a critical moment.
