美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯塞特周四再次强化特朗普政府对北约的强硬立场，宣布对美国驻欧洲部队展开为期六个月的审查，并抨击华盛顿的盟友限制其参与伊朗战争。
“这将是一次真正的审查，其目的是确保北约快速且不可逆转地朝着欧洲承担欧洲防务主要责任的方向迈进，”他在布鲁塞尔举行的北约国防部长会议上说道。
他表示，此次审查将“审视美国在欧洲的兵力部署和基地情况”，并将其描述为一种“将北约重塑为真正聚焦硬实力和真实威慑力的军事联盟”的方式。
“这场审查中，有些国家会不及格，有些国家则会以优异成绩通过，”他说。
他的此番言论正值欧洲面临关键节点之际，此前特朗普政府官员有关削减美国驻欧洲部队和装备数量的言论已令欧洲人心惶惶。
周三，北约秘书长马克·吕特证实，美国已减少其对北约部队模式的投入——该框架是北约组织联合部队和制定作战计划的基础，但他试图淡化这一举措的影响。
“我们已就常规部队领域的分工展开评估，我们认为欧洲盟友和加拿大已经准备好、愿意并且有能力承担更多责任。基于此，美国已调整其对北约部队模式的承诺，”他说道，并坚称美国凭借其核保护伞仍对北约“承诺不变”。
赫格斯塞特、总统唐纳德·特朗普以及其他美国政府官员经常抨击北约，指责华盛顿的欧洲盟友搭美国军费的便车。
据当时消息人士告诉CNN，上个月这位国防部长突然取消了两次美军向欧洲大陆的部署，并下令撤回其他人员。
美国国防部专门宣布，将在未来一年内从德国撤出约5000名士兵。在与德国总理弗里德里希·默茨发生争执后，特朗普威胁要进一步削减驻军。默茨曾表示，随着和平协议谈判一拖再拖，美国正被伊朗“羞辱”。原计划向德国部署一支擅长发射远程火箭和导弹的营级部队也被取消。
与此同时，欧洲各国已大幅增加本国军费开支，去年承诺到2035年将国防开支占国内生产总值的比例提升至5%，是此前2%目标的两倍多。

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth doubled down on the Trump administration’s combative posture towards NATO on Thursday, announcing a six-month review of US forces in Europe and lambasting Washington’s allies for limiting their involvement in the war in Iran.
“This will be a real review. It will be designed to ensure that NATO is moving fast and irreversibly towards Europe stepping up to take primary responsibility for the defense of Europe,” he said at a meeting of the alliance’s defense ministers in Brussels.
The review will “examine America’s force posture and basing in Europe,” he said, as he sought to characterize it as a way to “transform NATO back into a real military alliance that’s focused on hard power and real deterrence.”
“It’s a review that some countries will fail and others will pass with flying colours,” he said.
His comments come at a critical time for Europe, which has been rattled by statements from Trump administration officials about plans to draw down the amount of US forces and hardware stationed in Europe.
On Wednesday, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confirmed the US had reduced its contributions to the alliance’s force model – the framework by which the organization organizes its joint forces and war plans – but sought to downplay that impact.
“We have looked at the division of labor in the context of conventional forces and we see that European allies and Canada are ready, willing and able to do more. Based on this, the United States has adjusted its pledges to the NATO force model,” he said, insisting that the US, with its nuclear umbrella, remained “committed” to the alliance.
Hegseth, President Donald Trump and other US administration officials have frequently railed against NATO, accusing Washington’s European allies of freeloading off US military spending.
Last month, the defense secretary abruptly cancelled two US military deployments to the continent and ordered the removal of other personnel, sources told CNN at the time.
The Pentagon announced specifically that it would withdraw roughly 5,000 troops from Germany over the next year. Trump threatened further cuts following a spat with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had said the US was being “humiliated” by Iran as negotiations over a peace agreement dragged out. A future deployment to Germany of a battalion that specializes in firing long-range rockets and missiles was also cancelled.
Meanwhile, European countries, have dramatically increased their own military spending, pledging last year to spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense by 2035, more than double the previous 2% target.
