Trump considers giving up NATO command that has been exclusively American since Eisenhower
What Happened: Trump is considering relinquishing the U.S.’s 75-year-long role as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) as part of a “cost-cutting” military restructuring. The move would mark a fundamental shift in NATO leadership, handing control to European allies while consolidating U.S. European and African commands.
Why It Matters: Handing over NATO’s top command would be a major step toward Trump’s long-threatened withdrawal from the alliance. Military experts warn it would weaken deterrence against Russia, embolden Putin, and gut U.S. influence—all to save a pathetic 0.03% of the Pentagon’s budget. Another blatant gift to Moscow.
