Pentagon: Europe must take responsibility for its own security

Pentagon Secretary Eric Geressi assured that there will be no hasty withdrawal of American troops from Germany, but Europeans will have to take greater responsibility for their own security. He stated this in an interview with the German newspapers Süddeutsche Zeitung and Handelsblatt, SİA reports.

"All options and scenarios are currently being explored," Geressi noted, adding that the final decision rests with US President Donald Trump. "Nothing will be done hastily, nothing will be taken lightly," he promised.

At the same time, Geressi irecalled the words of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who made it clear that "the times when Europe relied primarily on American taxpayers and US military might for security have changed." "Europe is prosperous and has greater capabilities; our allies must take greater responsibility for their own defense," the adviser to the Pentagon chief emphasized.
