Europe may soon be unable to rely on the United States for deep strike capabilities, according to the Euronews website, which says Washington intends to cut NATO allies' access to its warships and fighter jets.
The change is reportedly part of US President Donald Trump's plan to extricate his country from Europe's security architecture, and follows Washington telling its European NATO allies last year it was planning to reduce military assets in Europe. Since then, details of the planned change have been scant.
Euronews said its sources have now confirmed the US intends to slash deep strike capabilities in Europe, with long-range US bombers, including the B2 and B-52, likely to be recalled along with naval assets, such as missile-launching submarines and aircraft carriers.
Euronews said the personnel and hardware would be relocated to other parts of the world.
