A senior Pentagon official said Washington, amid a review of U.S. force posture in Europe, wants to "advance and accelerate" transfer of most conventional defense responsibilities to European partners.

As part of the process allies received a questionnaire due this Friday asking whether they "publicly support" Trump’s foreign policy, whether they restrict use of U.S. military bases, and whether they purchase from U.S. defense contractors.
