U.S. President Trump said he hopes the Ukraine war will be resolved as soon as possible.

CNN reports President Trump considered cutting U.S. forces stationed in Europe by about one-third this spring to signal NATO allies after they declined to join his planned action against Iran. Around the same time the Pentagon canceled two deployments to Europe and ordered other personnel withdrawn. U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth had planned to announce larger reductions—potentially up to one-third—at June's NATO meeting but, after consultations with other senior officials, converted the plan into a six-month review of U.S. forces in Europe.

President Trump said Europe’s situation is now very different.
