US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that the European peace is no longer a top American security priority. Hegseth stated that the US will focus on its own border security and deterring war with China in the Pacific.
This shift in priorities may lead to a withdrawal of US forces from Europe, potentially encouraging nuclear proliferation and undermining the deterrent value of American power. The move has sparked concerns about the future of European security and the potential for instability in the region, with serious implications for global peace and stability, and the long-term consequences of this decision are still unknown.
