NATO holds large-scale combat drills as the US stance on Europe shifts under Trump

NATO continues its largest combat drills of 2025 in Romania amid uncertainty over U.S. commitments under President Trump.

The Steadfast Dart 2025 exercises involve 10,000 troops from nine nations, testing NATO’s rapid deployment abilities near Ukraine.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s calls for Europe to take the lead on security have raised concerns about a reduced American military presence.

Analysts warn this could weaken NATO’s eastern flank against Russia, the Associated Press has reported.

The exercises, featuring live-fire drills and amphibious assaults, highlight NATO’s shift toward faster response capabilities.

France has convened European leaders for talks as tensions grow.
