Andrius Kubilius, the EU Defence Chief, has raised concerns over the financial implications of the US military's withdrawal from Europe. He estimates that replacing these assets could require an investment of €500 billion.
Kubilius emphasized that Europe must come together to address this challenge, suggesting that cooperation will be essential to fill the gap left by the US.
The remarks come as the Trump administration continues its strategy of reducing military presence in Europe, prompting discussions about the future of European defense capabilities.
