The eastern flank, the cost of American bases and the Pentagon questionnaire

NATO's eastern flank states have offered the US to take on a larger share of the cost of the American troop presence, to deter Washington from cuts. In parallel, a six-month review of the US presence in Europe is under way, along with a Pentagon questionnaire asking about public support for Trump's policies. We are tracking the Brussels meeting on August 27, the August 28 deadline for answers, the review's outcome by December, and Slovakia's talks on amending the DCA.
