German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned that NATO must strengthen its European pillar to preserve the transatlantic alliance, as he anticipated the possibility of American troop withdrawals from Europe. Pistorius made the statement amid ongoing discussions about burden-sharing within the military alliance and Europe's defense capabilities. The comments reflect growing concerns among European NATO members about potential shifts in U.S. military commitment to the continent, particularly as debates continue over defense spending and strategic priorities within the 75-year-old alliance.
