As U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s Administration continues with its increasingly fiery rhetoric when it comes to Europe and Ukraine; according to the The Telegraph, the United States has notified allies in NATO that it does not plan to participate in any further military exercises in Europe, besides those that have already been scheduled in 2025.

This follows reports from yesterday, that President Trump was considering the withdrawal of 35,000 active-duty U.S. troops from Germany to Hungary, while stating that the United States may not come to the defense of NATO member nations who were not spending a certain percent of their GDP on defense, telling reporters, “If you don’t pay your bills, we’re not going to participate. We’re not going to protect you.”
