Pete Hegseth presented a plan to cut the US military presence in Europe and prepared to brief NATO leaders in Brussels, but senior officials blocked his proposal.Marco Rubio and other senior advisers prevented the withdrawals, prompting Pete Hegseth to announce a review of US posture in Europe that could take up to six months.The plan would have withdrawn submarines, drone support and warships, canceled an armored brigade rotation to
Poland and prompted lawmakers and allies to seek legal safeguards ahead of a
