US intends to increase its Air Force presence in Europe

Yesterday evening at the international air show in Le Bourget, the US Air Force Minister Deborah Lee James said that the United States plans to increase the presence of its air force in Europe in the context of rising tensions with Russia.

"The biggest threat now, to my mind, is what is happening in Russia. This is the main reason for my presence here,’’ Tass  quotes Deborah Lee James as saying 

After France, she intends to visit several other NATO countries for consultations  about the situation and to encourage them to increase military spending. According to Lee James, Washington is concerned about the intentions of some allies in the North Atlantic alliance, particularly the UK, to reduce their defense allocations.
