During negotiations in Saudi Arabia, Russia suggested that the United States withdraw NATO troops from Eastern Europe for “Normalization of relations. ” The US side rejected this initiative, but the proposal itself was concerned about the foreign policy of the new White House Administration.
Financial Times writes about it, citing its own sources.
The head of the Romanian Presidential apparatus and the Security Advisor Christian Dyaconscu said that there is a concern for which President Donald Trump can make concessions for agreements with Russia.
He believes that the leaders of France and the United Kingdom during future visits to Washington will try to persuade Trump not to take such steps. At the same time, according to Financial Times, there is anxiety in Eastern European countries because of the recent statements of the US administration – in particular, regarding the unrealistic NATO membership and promise to normalize relations with Moscow.
One of the high -ranking officials from Eastern Europe stated that the countries of the region are not sure if they were hearing their White House. They fear that Russia is trying to mislead the US to get concessions about Ukraine.
Romanian Presidential Advisor Christian Dyaconscu noted that Moscow has asked Washington to withdraw security guarantees for NATO countries after 1997.
Russia has made similar requirements to a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, but then the United States refused.
17 Financial Times reported that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wants to withdraw NATO troops from all territories of the former USSR. European officials believe that US President Donald Trump can agree.
Earlier, NATO Military Committee Admiral Dragon Dragon in an interview with Bloomberg stated that the United States would most likely remain in NATO, although they may reduce the presence of their troops in Europe-as their priorities are shifting to the Indo-Pacific.
According to Dragone, the withdrawal of some servicemen from the 100,000-strong US contingent placed in Europe can be put on the agenda through “Some obligations. “
