flag U.S. to shift NATO command leadership to Europe amid push for greater alliance burden-sharing.

flag The U.S. plans to transfer leadership of two NATO regional commands—Naples’ southern command to Italy and Norfolk’s northern command to the UK—while taking control of NATO’s maritime forces in the UK. flag The shift, part of a broader realignment, aims to increase European responsibility amid U.S. calls for greater burden-sharing, particularly as focus turns to challenges like China. flag The changes, expected over several months, come as European allies boost defense spending following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. flag Despite past tensions, including remarks about Greenland, U.S. officials say the goal is to strengthen NATO by ensuring all members contribute more effectively, while the U.S. retains control of core commands and the top NATO military position.
