The Trump administration has launched, through the Europe Posture Review, an institutional reassessment of how the United States distributes its forces, infrastructure, and capabilities across Europe. The Pentagon is examining access, basing, overflight rights, and allied contribution, while Congress protects, through the FY2026 NDAA, a European threshold of 76,000 troops, with no guarantees for any single allied state. Romania enters this discussion with real arguments, Mihail Kogălniceanu, the Aegis Ashore system at Deveselu, access to the Black Sea, and proximity to Ukraine, yet without any certainty regarding the maintenance of the current American presence. The analysis shows why, within the new „NATO 3.0”, Bucharest must demonstrate not only that it needs America, but also why America needs what Romania has to offer.
