Reports are coming in claiming President Donald Trump has ordered the shutdown of a large U.S. Military Base in Greece. The base is presently a key Logistics point in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine situation. NATO has been using this base to ship weapons for Ukraine.
Greek media reports that the closure of the U.S. military base in Alexandroupoli, Greece, follows a joint request from Putin and Erdogan.
The base, a key NATO logistical hub, had been a point of contention, particularly with Turkey.
If these reports are confirmed, the move represents a diplomatic concession that could alter the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Greek press reports highlight that the closure is seen as a strategic loss for Greece, which has strengthened military ties with the U.S. in recent years. The Alexandroupoli base played a role in regional security and military logistics, particularly in supporting NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe.
The Trump administration has yet to officially comment on the reports, and it remains unclear whether the decision will be permanent or part of a broader realignment of U.S. military assets.
