[Regnum] US President Donald Trump has appointed Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grinkevich as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe and head of the US European Command, the Pentagon press service reports.
"Lieutenant General Alexus Grinkevich has been appointed Supreme Allied Commander Europe and Commander of the United States European Command," the statement said.
The Pentagon added that representatives of the member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance supported the appointment of Grinkevich. At the moment, he holds the post of director of operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States Department of Defense. Grinkevich will replace the current head of the command, General Christopher Cavoli, who is due to retire in early July.
According to media reports, Grinkevich has earned the status of one of the most promising generals in the US at the Pentagon. In the past, he was a pilot of F-16 and F-22 fighters. Grinkevich also served for four years at the Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters, helping to lead the US armed forces in the Middle East.
On May 3, the German magazine Der Spiegel wrote that Trump might not attend the NATO summit scheduled for June if the alliance member states do not increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP per year. It was noted that Berlin had long disregarded the words of the new US Ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, about the demand by the head of the White House to increase military spending.
