US Plans to Pull a Third of Its Fighter Jets from NATO Europe
NYT > World News·Saturday, 13 June 2026
The Trump administration has outlined a plan to withdraw roughly a third of the fighter jets it provides to NATO in Europe. The plan was described by officials and detailed in a written document. It gives rare clarity about how far Trump intends to scale back America's military commitment to the alliance.
Why It Matters
NATO is the main security alliance protecting Europe, and a significant US military pullback could shift the balance of power on the continent at a time when Russia is still at war with Ukraine.
