President Joe Biden discussed options for bolstering US troop levels in the Baltics and Eastern Europe with his top military officials during a briefing at Camp David, according to a senior official.
The briefing, which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley attended virtually, included the discussion of troop levels as well as updates on the latest intelligence and ongoing talks with allies on their plans to respond should Russia invade Ukraine, the official said.The New York Times first reported on the options being presented at the briefing and reported that Biden is expected to make a decision as early as this week.
"We are exploring a wide range of options on how we would bolster our allies militarily," the first official said. These options would also likely be supported by sanctions.The goal of any military reinforcement in eastern Europe would be to provide deterrence and reassurance to allies. The options could include"movement of assets and forces already in Europe and also assets and forces available outside of Europe," the official said last week.
