Jamie Shea: There is no reason for American forces to withdraw from Europe

Former spokeswoman NATO during the Kosovo war, Jamie Shea, has said there is no reason for American forces to withdraw from Europe.

While elaborating on this opportunity that has been mentioned last week, Shea in an interview for KTV has said that American President Donald Trump intends that European allies push to invest more in defence, but that he does not plan to evacuate troops, broadcast Periscope.

I still sincerely believe that this is a view of the minority surrounding President Trump, and of course a minority in Congress. Congress members, in fact, adopted legislation that makes it impossible to withdraw the president of the United States from NATO without Senate consent. And what we've seen in the last few days for example by Marco Rubio, Secretary of State or Matthew Whittaker, the new US ambassador to NATO, is a reaffirmation of American commitment to NATO. No intention to withdraw American forces from Europe. What Trump seems to want is Europeans to do more in NATO by spending NATO's current target of 2% of Bruto's internal defence production and will probably go beyond 3 percent, given the most difficult security situation”.
