The US will hand over two NATO command posts to Europe

The United States is preparing to hand over control of two important NATO command structures, based in Naples and Norfolk, Virginia, to European officers. The information was confirmed by a military source to Reuters.

This move is part of the long-term strategy of President Donald Trump's administration, which calls on European countries to take greater responsibility for their own defense.

Washington has repeatedly criticized the imbalance within the Alliance, where the US plays a dominant role, and is pushing for a stronger European leadership position in NATO. The transfer of command posts is intended to symbolize and practically support this shift.
