The U.S. May Reduce Its Presence in Europe Under an Agreement on Greenland
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the decision on a possible withdrawal of additional U.S. troops from Europe would depend on the outcome of negotiations regarding Greenland, as well as on the situation surrounding Iran.
Responding to a question about a possible reduction in the U.S. military presence in Europe, Trump noted that he has not yet made a final decision.
“I haven’t made a final decision on this yet. A lot will depend on Greenland. A great deal, as you understand. We’ll strike a very favorable deal on Greenland. And if not, then maybe I’ll do it,” said the U.S. president.
At the same time, Trump emphasized that his decision would also be influenced by developments regarding Iran.
“A lot depends on Iran. I mean, they want to help right now. You know, sooner or later, the fact is that, essentially, there will be nothing left to fight for. But some things will depend on Iran. When they had the chance, the opportunity to help, they decided not to,” he said.
Thus, according to Trump, the future of the U.S. military presence in Europe will depend on the course of negotiations regarding Greenland and the development of relations with Iran.
The U.S. leader made these remarks during a conversation with journalists.
