466 Trump’s NATO Shake-up: US ‘Pulls Out’ Generals From Two Key European Bases In Major Power Shift

10 Feb 2026

The United States is stepping back from leading two key NATO command posts, allowing European military officers to take charge. This move, part of a broader shift in NATO leadership, reflects the Trump administration’s call for European nations to take more responsibility for their own security. While the US will maintain control of other NATO commands, the change signifies a potential weakening of the Transatlantic Alliance and raises questions about the future of US-European security cooperation.
