The US will redeploy 800 troops from Italy to the Baltic region and deploy up to eight F-35 fighter jets to several operational sites along NATO's eastern flank. This was reported by Reuters with reference to a source in the Pentagon.

The US will also send 32 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters.

According to a source in the US Department of Defense, additional forces are redirected "to calm" NATO allies and "deter any potential aggression against participating states." He also assured that reinforcements from the United States would not be involved.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden promised that Washington would increase its military presence in Europe to protect the Baltic countries. At the same time, he noted that the United States has no intentions to fight with Russia, and called these steps defensive.
