US Reviews Military Presence in Lithuania as Troop Rotation Delayed
Share:
The United States is reassessing its military presence in Lithuania as American soldiers are departing the Baltic nation according to schedule, but an expected new group of troops has not arrived, officials in Kaunas reported. Lithuania, which shares a border with Russia, has tripled its defense spending since 2022 amid heightened regional security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Baltic state, a NATO member since 2004, has become a key staging ground for Western military support in the region as tensions with Russia have escalated.
