Hegseth warns Europeans 'realities' of China and border threats prevent US from guaranteeing their security
Fox News
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged European allies to understand that the "realities" of China and the situation on U.S. borders means there will be a drawdown of U.S. troops deployed in Europe.
"The U.S. is prioritizing deterring war with China in the Pacific. Recognizing the reality of scarcity and making the resourcing trade-offs to ensure deterrence does not fail. Deterrence cannot fail."
This was Hegseth’s first trip to the headquarters of the NATO alliance.
