Possible scenario
Limited US Retention
42% Chance
Washington accepts Romania's offer in principle but keeps the decision narrow, preserving a rotational US Army presence rather than reversing the broader Europe drawdown. This is the most likely outcome because it lets the Trump administration claim cost discipline while maintaining deterrence after Russian drones struck Romanian tankers.
