Europe needs the roadmap for us on any dismissal of troops, said Finnish Minister of Defense – Politico

Häkkänen’s comments echo those of the German defense Boris Pistorius, who asked his American counterpart last month Pete Hegseth to “develop a roadmap to avoid shortcomings in capacities, gradually organize the sharing of the load, to know who would do what” in case the American forces of Europe for Indo-Pacific.

Pistorius said he had not obtained any response from the White House or the Pentagon.

European countries rush to recalibrate the continent’s defenses while the administration of Donald Trump is carrying out the economic war against the EU, warms the ties with Russia, warns that he may not defend NATO allies, she seems to be underdeveloped on defense and threatens to invade Greenland.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio – in Brussels for a meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers – rejected the concerns of America’s commitment to the Alliance as “hysteria”.

During the same meeting, the NATO chief, Mark Rutte, argued that there was “no surprise” within the Alliance and that any American pivot towards Asia would be “in a very coordinated manner”.

The Finnish minister was sympathetic to American arguments on the need to move to Asia. “The message I receive from the Americans and on the Pentagon side is that we must understand their pressure (of) the military accumulation of China in the Indo-Pacific region.”
