The Trump administration is considering giving up NATO command, a move that could drastically shift US influence in the alliance and alter US-EU relations. Giving up SACEUR would be a 'major symbolic shift in the balance of power in NATO,' NBC reported. The US military is made up of 11 combatant commands, five of which could be consolidated, according to the two defense officials cited by NBC. These changes could include consolidating the US European Command (EUCOM) and the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) into one command based at EUCOM's current headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
