Naples, Italy. The United States will turn over two of NATO’s major command posts in Naples, Italy, and Norfolk, Virginia, to European officers, a military source told Reuters on Monday.


Transfer of NATO command posts

The command posts in Naples and Norfolk are set to be handed to European officers, according to the source.

Push for greater European responsibility

The move aligns with US President Donald Trump’s demands that European nations take more responsibility for their own security. His administration has called for the alliance, long dominated by the United States, to become a “European-led Nato”.


How could the transfer of these NATO command posts affect the alliance’s leadership and operations?
