Live from NPR News in Washington on Corva Coleman,
President Trump has signed a memo of understanding to stop the war in Iran.
Iran's president has signed to, too.
It calls for talks on Iran's nuclear program.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is launching a six-month review of U.S.
Military forces in Europe.
President Trump is pressing NATO allies to pay for more of their own defense.
NPR's Windsor-Johnson reports Hegseth also criticized allies over their response to the war with Iran.
Speaking in Brussels, Hegs had said the review will help determine whether
NATO is moving quickly enough toward what he called Europe leading its own defense.
He also said the US will be watching closely to see which countries are meeting alliance expectations
and which ones are falling short.
This review will think outside the box.
Our national defense strategy states clearly that we're going to incentivize
and enable our allies to step up and do their part.
So we're going to keep a close ally.
Close eye on allies who are not doing that.
The review comes after the Trump administration accused some NATO allies of failing to support U.S.
Operations against Iran by denying access to bases and airspace.
