The US testament prioritise its possess defence and offer up only “limited” support to its allies in Europe, the Pentagon has said.
In the revised National Defense Strategy released on Friday, the Department of Defense said European NATO members must play a key role in protecting themselves and providing military aid to Ukraine.
“Although we are and will remain engaged in Europe, we must – and will – prioritize defending the US Homeland and deterring China,” the document reads.
“The Department will therefore incentivize and enable NATO allies to take primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense with critical but more limited US support.”
“This includes taking the lead in supporting Ukraine’s defense. As President Trump has said, the war in Ukraine must end. As he has also emphasized, however, this is Europe’s responsibility first and foremost,” the document reads.
