The United States has appointed the United States General, Alexus G. Grynkewich, a new supreme commander of NATO’s armed forces in Europe (Sandeur), confirming his commitment to Europe despite certain fears, the Atlantic Alliance announced Thursday.
The former 53 -year -old pilot will also take command of US forces in Europe, said the United States Ministry of Defense.
Since the beginning of the Atlantic Alliance in 1949, the Post Sacoeur has always been assigned to an American officer. But the fear of American disconnection since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, this time he left a doubt, in the alliance runners in Brussels.
Washington asks its European allies to increase their defense budget
The Secretary of Defense of the United States, Pete Hegseth, present on Thursday in Brussels, confirmed before the press the American commitment in the Atlantic Alliance, but warned the European allies who should spend more to guarantee their own defense and give up their “dependence” in the United States.
General Grynkewich replaces another American general, Christopher G. Cavoli, who had assumed the position on July 4, 2022, a few months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
