JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump is reluctant to reveal whether he plans to announce additional reductions in US forces in Europe.
"We'll see," Trump said during a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, reported CNN, Tuesday, July 7.
"Well, we'll just see," Trump said when asked about the possibility of announcing further reductions in US forces in Europe.
The US president also repeated his criticism of NATO, even hinting that he had considered not attending the summit at all.
"I am very disappointed with NATO, and frankly, if this event were not held in Turkey - where my friend is leading as a very strong and tough figure - I probably would not have attended. I feel I have to attend because I know very well he has made every effort," said Trump.
Trump's comments come amid ongoing questions about the future of the US military presence in Europe.
According to several parties who know the discussion, Trump has personally discussed the possibility of cutting the number of American troops on the continent by about a third, after previously expressing disappointment that NATO allies refused to participate in US military operations against Iran.
