A report tied to Spiegel says the United States is planning a significant reduction in military provisions to NATO, increasing pressure on European countries to strengthen their own defense posture. The new information emphasizes that Europe’s response is shifting toward greater self-reliance through higher defense spending, although actual capability development is expected to lag behind immediate financial commitments. The source still provides no figures, timeline, or official confirmation from the United States, NATO, or European governments beyond the reported claim.
