The US Condemns Houthis for Abducting Bulgarian Sailors
Barbara Leaf, the US Assistant Secretary of State for Middle East Affairs, criticized the Yemeni Houthis for their inhumane actions in capturing merchant ships, including the "Galaxy Leader"
The United States is increasing its military presence in Europe and moving to Poland the headquarters of an army corps, key to US military cooperation with the continent.
This was announced by US President Joe Biden in a statement together with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at the beginning of the alliance's summit in Madrid.
The change at a time when NATO is updating its strategic concept to adapt it to the new world of challenges, China's rise and the war in Ukraine, currently affects only two countries in Eastern Europe - Romania and Poland.
However, it remains to be seen how NATO will strengthen its defensive positions in the region, as Stoltenberg announced plans to turn multinational battlegroups set up in the region around the war in Ukraine into brigades.
The following changes were announced in Biden's message:
"We have sent 20,000 people to Europe because of Russian aggression and our forces have increased to 100,000. We will continue to adjust our positions in consultation with our allies," Biden said.
The Fifth Corps of the United States Army operated in Europe during World War I, World War II, and the Cold War, and subsequently participated in counterterrorism operations. Its headquarters were closed until the beginning of the current decade, and elements of it were stationed in Germany this year.
