BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Romania and NATO allies were notified of U.S. plans to cut the number of troops stationed on Europe's eastern flank including soldiers who were to be stationed at Romania's Mihail Kogalniceanu air base, Romania's defence ministry said on Wednesday.

Washington's European allies have been told previously by the administration of President Donald Trump that they will need to take more responsibility for their own security as the United States focuses more on its own borders and the Indo-Pacific region.
