WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews)-The United States is asking NATO allies to detail not only their defense spending but also their public support for President Donald Trump’s foreign policy as part of a broader review of the American military presence in Europe, according to a Bloomberg News report.

A questionnaire recently circulated to alliance members and seen by Bloomberg seeks information on whether governments have been “publicly supportive” of U.S. foreign policy, imposed restrictions on U.S. military use of their bases, purchased equipment from American defense contractors, or opposed European “preference” rules that favor local firms over U.S. ones.

The document specifically references restrictions some allies placed on U.S. operations in the Middle East, including limits on the use of bases for strikes related to the conflict with Iran, and asks whether those restrictions could be reduced or eliminated. It also inquires about alignment with the Trump administration’s approach, described by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as “strong, clear, and quiet.”

The questionnaire forms part of a six-month U.S. review of its forces and wartime capabilities in Europe that is expected to conclude by December. Allies are bracing for possible significant reductions in American troops and equipment earmarked for NATO contingencies.

People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that some allies view the questions as an effort to link continued U.S. security guarantees to political loyalty. That approach, they said, would mark a departure from the traditional NATO model in which collective defense has been maintained despite political differences among members.

A NATO official confirmed the United States is coordinating with allies on the review but declined to comment on the questionnaire itself. The document was first shared with countries in Washington before circulating this week at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where further discussions on the review are planned later this month.

The review comes after earlier U.S. moves that included plans to withdraw about 5,000 troops from Germany and reductions in certain combat units and wartime reinforcement assets in Europe. At the same time, the Trump administration has pledged additional forces to Poland following the election of a preferred candidate there.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has described regular reviews of the alliance’s force posture as “wise,” citing rising European and Canadian defense spending. Alliance defense expenditures have grown substantially in recent years, with Europe and Canada accounting for a larger share relative to the United States.

The questionnaire also probes compliance with higher defense-spending targets and whether allies are willing to speak against “made-in-Europe” procurement policies that limit contracts with American companies.
