US president will seek financial support from European countries to offset costs of American soldiers, reports Italian media

Trump plans to cut the US troop presence in Europe by about 20%, or 20,000 troops, as part of a review of Washington’s commitment to protecting Europe, the state-run ANSA news agency, citing a European diplomatic source.

“Furthermore, for those who remain, he would like a financial contribution from European countries because these soldiers are a deterrent, and the costs cannot be borne only by American taxpayers,” the source was quoted as saying by the media outlet.

But..but..but what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of military age illegal migrants that have overwhelmed most of Europe. With a diminished military presence, how will these countries cope with the ongoing invasion that they have invited upon themselves (especially after these groups become armed)? Will the US accept a new wave of refugees if they are the monied elite of Europe?
