Therefore, we are very concerned about reports that claim [the Defense Department] is considering unilateral changes on major strategic issues, including significant reductions to U.S. forces stationed abroad, absent coordination with the White House and Congress,\u201d the two chairs said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sailthru_shortcode\">\n<div class=\"sailthru-signup-widget sailthru-signup-display-area sailthru-signup-hill-position-main\">\n\t\t<span class=\"sailthru-signup-widget-close\"><a href=\"#sailthru-signup-widget\">Close<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sailthru_form\">\n<div class=\"sailthru-signup-success-message\">\n<div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"thanks\">Thank you for signing up!<\/p>\n<p class=\"watch\">Subscribe to more newsletters <a href=\"http:\/\/nxslink.thehill.com\/join\/7aa\/signup\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sailthru-subscribe-grid-display\">\n<div class=\"sailthru-signup-display-message-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sailthru-signup-display-logo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sailthru-signup-display-message\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>The latest in politics and policy.<br \/>\nDirect to your inbox.<br \/>\nSign up for the Morning Report newsletter<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sailthru_form_input form-group\">\n<div class=\"sailthru-add-subscriber-errors\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"input-group-btn\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"sailthru-signup-display-button\" type=\"submit\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\tif ( window.checkSizeClasses &amp;&amp; window.checkSizeClasses instanceof Function) {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\twindow.checkSizeClasses();<br \/>\n\t\t\t}<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe support President Trump\u2019s efforts to ensure our allies and partners increase their contributions to strengthen our alliance structure, and we support continuing America\u2019s leadership abroad.

The current SACEUR, Army Gen. Christopher G.
