Romania - Ministry of National Defence
Press release No. 198
29.10.2025
Romania and the Allies were informed of the United States' decision to downsize American troops in Europe.
The Ministry of National Defence has been informed about the withdrawal of some of the American troops deployed on NATO's Eastern Flank, as part of the process of reassessing the global posture of US military forces.
Among the elements of the brigade that are about to cease rotations in Europe are also mentioned the forces designated for Romania, stationed at Mihail Kogălniceanu.
The decision was expected, as Romania is in permanent contact with its American strategic partner.
The downsizing of the US forces is an effect of the new priorities of the presidential administration, announced in February. The decision also took into account the fact that NATO had strengthened its presence and activity on the Eastern Flank, which allows the United States to adjust its military posture in the region.
*
The American decision is to cease the rotation of a brigade in Europe that had elements in several NATO countries. Approximately one thousand American soldiers will remain deployed on our national territory, contribute to the deterrence of any threats and will represent a guarantee of the US commitment to regional security.
Today, October 29th, the Minister of National Defence has held a press conference at the ministry's headquarters.
