United States ruler President Donald Trump is reportedly considering giving up Washington’s exclusive role in leading NATO’s (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) military command. The U.S. has held the role since 1949.
According to a report by NBC News, which cited defense officials, Trump is exploring the possibility of relinquishing control of the office of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), which has been held by a U.S. four-star general since the bloc’s founding in 1949. Trump has been weighing the move as part of a broader effort to restructure U.S. military commands and reduce defense expenditures. The report states that his administration has been looking into cutting costs within the Department of Defense.
