Trump may withdraw US troops from Baltics, European officials say
European officials believe U.S. President Donald Trump may withdraw American troops from the Baltics, raising concerns about potential Russian aggression. This shift comes as reports suggest Trump's peace plan could impose heavy reparations on Ukraine. The proposed agreement would allow the U.S. to control Ukraine's critical resources, taking a significant share of revenues from natural resource extraction. This marks a departure from previous U.S. support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth stated that regaining Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is unrealistic, which has drawn criticism from European leaders. Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing among European nations about potentially deploying peacekeeping forces in Ukraine.
