In a major development, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said on Thursday (25 June) that the decision to reduce the troops in Europe and deploy them in several other places was in response to the Chinese threat to India and Southeast Asian nations, reports Times of India.
Speaking at the Brussels forum, Pompeo said that the decision to withdraw troops from Germany, announced by President Trump recently, was a well thought-out strategy to move them to other places.
He further added that the aggressive stance of the Chinese Communist Party was a threat to India and other countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and the South China Sea.
Citing the list of aggressive Chinese actions, including the bloody confrontation with India and its actions in South China Sea, Pompeo announced that the US and the European Union would start a dialogue on China and the challenges it poses.
