00:00The U.S. could be making a shocking move that shakes the foundation of NATO.
00:04For nearly 75 years, America has led NATO's European command,
00:08but now the Trump administration is considering stepping away from this key role.
00:13The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, SACUR, has always been a U.S. general,
00:18overseeing military operations and even support for Ukraine,
00:22but with a major Pentagon restructuring underway that could soon change.
00:26This move would be a major shift in NATO's balance of power,
00:30signaling that the U.S. is stepping back from its leadership role in European defense critics
00:35warned that this could weaken the alliance at a critical time.
00:38Why is this happening?
00:40The Trump administration wants European nations to take more responsibility for their own security.
00:45The plan could also merge key U.S. military commands to cut costs,
00:49but the savings are minimal compared to the overall defense budget.
00:53The U.S. abandons SACUR, who will take charge.
00:57And what does this mean for NATO's future?
