A new rotation of US troops is “already on its way to Lithuania“, the Baltic NATO member state’s president said in a post on social media X on Tuesday.
– President Gitanas Nauseda thanked President Donald Trump and the US administration, adding that this was important for Lithuania and for the security of the region.
– “The US military presence in Lithuania is an indispensable part of our deterrence and collective defense,” Nauseda said.
– The United States is withdrawing thousands of troops from Europe, and Lithuania said in June that the US was reviewing its future presence of forces in the country.
