The US Minister of Defense Esper considers the significant reduction in the size of the US military in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. At present, the U.S. military in West Africa may be evacuated to concentrate on dealing with powerful countries such as China and Russia. It is expected that it will make a preliminary decision in January next year.

The New York Times reported that U.S. officials who understand the inside story revealed that first of all, it may start with the reduction of the U.S. military in West Africa. The specific actions include: abandoning a recently spent one billion US dollars of Niger drone bases and stopping support in Mali, Niger and BickyNahazo combats the French army of militants.

In the next few months, Esper may reduce the number of U.S. military in Iraq to 2,500, and reduce nearly 4,000 U.S. military in Afghanistan, and the U.S. U.S. military in Latin America will also reduce it.Esper's idea is that after the 2001 incident in 2001, the United States sent troops to a distant country that is full of rebels and armed groups, cracking down on terrorists.It is unlikely that the U.S. military should be drawn from such a situation.

This concept is also performing a commitment to President Trump.As soon as Trump came to power, he claimed to end the endless wars of the United States overseas, but the U.S. military still has 200,000 people overseas, which is similar to Trump when he came to power.

Esper said earlier this month: We have begun to review each theater, understand the requirements we should meet, and ensure that the U.S. military is as high as possible.Esper has ordered the African Command to propose a preliminary withdrawal of troops and re -deploying the army at the same time at the same time.

After Esper proposed the idea of withdrawal, some people within the U.S. government criticized that the U.S. withdrawal may cause Africa to have a vacuum of power, instead allowing China and Russia to take advantage of the scope of expansion. In additionEurope.

The main task of the U.S. military in West Africa is to train West African security forces to crack down on Islamic basic doctrine and organize Boko Sanctuary and Kaida organizations and Islamic national branches.Esper believes that some armed groups are neither capable nor willing to attack the United States, and the U.S. military is not significant to continue to stay in the local area.

The newly appointed commander of the United States African Command Tomans, Chen Ji, said that the U.S. military must continue to stay in Africa in order to compete with China and Russia actively expanding economic and military influence.McKinsey, the commander of the Central Command of the Middle East and the US Army, strongly advocated that the United States should increase troops in the Middle East to scare Iran.
