NATO summit: US move does not harm our defense

The US decision to withdraw 5,000 soldiers from Germany does not affect NATO's defense. This is what Alexus Grynkewich, commander of NATO forces in Europe, says, according to AFP.

“As allies build up their capabilities, the US can withdraw capabilities to use for other global priorities, so I am very comfortable with the situation,” he says.

The US has also suspended the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland.
