<ul>
<li>Trump expected to nominate Lieutenant General Grynkewich</li>
<li>Grynkewich would serve as Supreme Allied Commander Europe</li>
<li>Trump privately communicated decision to NATO's Rutte</li>
<li>Move quells allies' fears that US would relinquish post</li>
</ul>
WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS, May 30 (Reuters) - President <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> will maintain the traditional role of a U.S. general at the helm of NATO, at least for now, three U.S. officials, a Western official and a NATO source said, even as Washington pushes European allies to take more responsibility for their security.
Trump himself privately communicated the decision to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, the Western official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Pentagon, White House and NATO did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The decision will relieve European NATO allies and even some of Trump's fellow Republicans amid concerns that Washington's tough talk on Europe, and skepticism about the war in Ukraine, could signal a swift retrenchment in America's military leadership.
Still, officials say U.S. warnings that Trump's administration needs to shift its focus to Asia and homeland security are sincere. While no decisions have been made, Trump's administration has discussed possible troop reductions in Europe, where about 80,000 U.S. personnel are based today.
The next expected U.S. nominee for the positions of both Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and U.S. European Command (EUCOM) is Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, the U.S. officials said.
The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of an announcement expected in the coming days.
The position of SACEUR, which oversees all NATO operations in Europe, has been filled by a U.S. general since its creation after World War Two. U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower became the alliance's first SACEUR in 1951.
Since taking office in January, Trump's administration has pressured Europe to ramp up its own defense spending, saying Europe should be primarily responsible for defense on the European continent.
How quickly Europe assumes such a role remains a big question, and there have been discussions within the administration about the possibility of handing over the job of Supreme Allied Commander Europe to a European nation, officials say.
"Make no mistake: President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into 'Uncle Sucker'," U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3P40W2">told reporters</a> during a visit to NATO headquarters in February.
During Trump's first term, maintaining NATO and the leading U.S. role in the alliance was a top priority for his Pentagon chiefs. Retired Marine Corps General Jim Mattis, his first defense secretary, resigned in part because of Trump's skepticism towards NATO.
While the United States was still expected to pressure Europe to do more, and could in the future start redirecting U.S. troops elsewhere as part of a broader review of U.S. deployments, the U.S. decision to maintain the role of SACEUR is certain to be welcomed by key allies of Trump in Congress.
The two Republican lawmakers who lead the Pentagon's oversight committees in the U.S. Congress issued a <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3Q21CF">rare joint statement</a> in March expressing alarm about a potential U.S. withdrawal from the SACEUR command structure.
Grynkewich, who is now the director for operations at the U.S. military's Joint Staff, would succeed Army General Christopher Cavoli, who has been in the role since shortly after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, helping oversee billions of dollars in U.S. security assistance to Kyiv.
Trump entered office in January predicting he would be able to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. In the months since, he has found that the conflict is more intractable than he believed and has blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, for allowing it to happen.

'U.S. Will Not Relinquish Role Of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander When It Nominates The Next Top U.S. General For Europe; Western Official Says Trump Himself Communicated The Decision To NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte' - Reuters Exclusive

On Thursday, May 29, U.S. markets closed higher, lifted by Nvidia's strong earnings despite a warning over reduced China sales due to export restrictions. A court reinstated sweeping Trump-era tariffs, though investors largely shrugged off the impact.
Salesforce slipped despite raising its outlook, while Boeing rose on increased production plans. GDP showed a modest contraction, and Best Buy tumbled on softer consumer demand.
In economic data, U.S. jobless claims rose by 14,000 to 240,000 last week, exceeding the expected 230,000. The economy shrank at a 0.2% annual rate in the first quarter, slightly better than the earlier 0.3% estimate.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors ended higher on Thursday, led by utilities, real estate, and health care. Communication services stocks were the only major decliners.
The Dow closed higher by 0.28% at 42,215.73, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.40% to 5,912.17, and the Nasdaq rose 0.39% to 19,175.87.

On Tuesday, May 27, U.S. markets closed higher as Trump delayed a 50% EU tariff, boosting investor confidence alongside a surprise 14.4% jump in consumer sentiment. The Nasdaq led gains, fueled by AI stocks in the "Magnificent Seven." Markets rebounded sharply from recent tariff-driven losses, though analysts warn of potential pullbacks.

Most Asia And Europe Markets Slip, Dollar Softens - Global Markets Today While US Slept

China May Relax Rare Earth Export Controls For Chinese, European Semiconductor, Related Companies

<a href="https://x.com/medvedevrussiae/status/1927427723028238477?s=46&amp;t=dtUiyC3dUs5yGRgT9qYHWg">https://x.com/medvedevrussiae/status/1927427723028238477?s=46&amp;t=dtUiyC3dUs5yGRgT9qYHWg</a>

Deputy Chair Of The Security Council Of The Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, Posts On X "Regarding Trump's words about Putin "playing with fire" and "really bad things" happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!"

European stock markets rallied Tuesday after officials in Brussels agreed to speed up tariff negotiations with Washington, a move that investors hope will head off a trans-Atlantic trade war and remove a major overhang for global risk assets.
The breakthrough followed U.S. President Donald Trump's weekend decision to postpone a threatened 50% levy on all European Union imports until 9 July. With the immediate tariff deadline pushed back, U.S. equities opened sharply higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added about 600 points, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose more than 2%.&nbsp;
Euro-area blue-chips tracked the move, and pan-European exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw some of their heaviest buying in weeks.

<li>Build your portfolio with ETFs — track the S&amp;P 500, tech, energy, and more. Here's <a href="https://robinhood.c3me6x.net/POYEKe">where to invest with no commissions and no account minimums</a>.</li>
<li>Make your savings work harder with a <a href="https://www.pqr3ntrk.com/3P8KRP/37GQ4B/?sub1=y2investing">high-yield cash account with 4.1% APY</a>, with no fees, no minimum balance requirements, and unlimited withdrawals.</li>
</ul>
Investor appetite was also buoyed by a surprise rebound in U.S. consumer confidence and a broad rally in sovereign bonds that pushed the 30-year Treasury yield below 5%. The euro edged to a one-month high near $1.14, underlining renewed demand for European assets as trade tensions eased.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Fast-Tracking Matters for Markets</h2>
The EU's decision to accelerate negotiations narrows the window for tariff escalation and gives multinationals on both sides of the Atlantic greater clarity on supply-chain planning. Strategists at several banks said the shift could help unlock pent-up capital flows into European equities, which have lagged U.S. benchmarks this year despite attractive valuations and stabilising economic data.
With global manufacturers still digesting China-linked slowdowns, an end to the EU-U.S. tariff standoff would remove a second major source of uncertainty. Semiconductor bellwether Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) anticipated earnings report on Wednesday may reinforce the global risk-on tone if guidance proves resilient.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Routes to European Exposure</h2>
For U.S. investors looking to position ahead of a potential trade agreement, here are a range of vehicles that balance simplicity, liquidity and sector choice.
Broad-based Europe ETFs. Low-cost funds such as the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>) or the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#BATS">EZU</a>) provide one-ticket exposure to large-cap names across the continent, from French luxury houses to German industrials. Both funds saw above-average volumes on Tuesday.
Sector and thematic funds. Should tariff relief materialize, cyclical areas tied to cross-border demand could benefit most. The SPDR MSCI Europe Industrials ETF and the Global X MSCI SuperDividend EAFE ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFAS#NYSE">EFAS</a>) offer targeted plays on industrial exporters and high-dividend stalwarts, respectively.
Individual ADRs and direct listings. Investors comfortable with single-stock risk may consider American depositary receipts of companies like Siemens AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIEGY#OTC">SIEGY</a>) or semiconductor equipment maker ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).&nbsp;
Many discount brokers now route orders directly to Xetra, Euronext or Borsa Italiana, allowing dollar-based accounts to trade in euros and settle in local time.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mind the Currency and Policy Calendar</h2>
A stronger euro can add a second return driver—but also a layer of volatility—when U.S.-based portfolios own unhedged European assets. Currency-hedged ETF share classes are available for investors who prefer to neutralize foreign-exchange swings, albeit at the cost of slightly higher fees.
Traders will also be watching Friday's U.S. core PCE inflation release and a series of speeches from Federal Reserve officials for clues on monetary policy direction. Any hint of slower U.S. growth could amplify relative enthusiasm for Europe, where fiscal spending and structural reforms are expected to underpin domestic demand.
Fast-tracked EU-U.S. negotiations have injected fresh momentum into European markets that were battered by tariff headlines earlier this month. While geopolitical risk remains, the prospect of a negotiated settlement—combined with attractive valuations and a weaker U.S. dollar—makes a diversified allocation to Europe an increasingly compelling complement to a U.S.-centric portfolio.

On Friday, May 23, U.S. markets closed lower as investors turned cautious ahead of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 26, amid renewed trade tensions and economic uncertainty. Stocks ended the week in negative territory after President Trump reignited tariff fears by proposing steep duties on European imports. Major indexes declined, led by tech and consumer losses. Apple fell on tariff concerns, while megacaps and chipmakers also retreated amid growing market unease.

Asia Markets Mixed, Europe Gains, Dollar Strengthens On EU Tariff Delay - Global Markets Today While US Slept

President Trump Says Could Talk About Delays To EU Tariffs If They Start Moving To U.S.; Says Numerous Other Deals Ready To Be Signed

President Trump Says Talks With EU Are Slow-Moving; Says Not Looking For A Deal With EU

President Donald Trump has sparked fear again of an all-out trade war, causing shockwaves in the stock market and leaving investors in the dark. In a post on Truth Social, Trump directly targeted tech giant Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), threatening a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45584696/trump-threatens-tim-cook-to-manufacture-iphones-in-the-us-or-face-at-least-25-tariffs">25% tariff on iPhones produced outside America</a>. Not resting there, he threatened a sweeping<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom"> 50% tariff on all imports from the European Union</a> beginning June 1.
Although it is uncertain if Trump can unilaterally impose company-specific tariffs, the markets didn&#8217;t wait for answers. Apple stocks fell almost 3% on Friday trading, and investors are now left wondering how to rebalance their portfolios if protectionism returns.

Tech ETFs: Industry Giants In The Crosshairs
Trump&#8217;s words shone a bright light on Apple, which constitutes meaningful portions of most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">technology ETFs</a>. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) holds more than 12.5% in Apple, and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) also hold 17.2% and 7.7% respectively.
Investors seeking to trim their exposure to Apple-focused funds could look to diversified global tech ETFs or equal-weight rivals that soften concentration risk. The iShares Global Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IXN#NYSE">IXN</a>) can be a good choice. Despite having significant exposure to Apple, the fund dedicates around 20% of its portfolio to international tech stocks.
Retail Rout? ETFs Exposed to Walmart and Amazon
Retailing behemoths Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Amazon are also in Trump&#8217;s sights. Last week, Walmart suggested it might have to raise prices because of higher tariff costs. Trump responded, telling the retailer to &#8220;eat the tariffs.&#8221;
The SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>), whose holdings include both Walmart and Amazon, may experience more volatility. 
European Exposure On The Edge
A 50% tariff on EU imports, if invoked, would be one of the toughest trade policies in recent U.S.-EU relations. ETFs with high European exposure, such as the iShares Europe ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEV#NASDAQ">IEV</a>), SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEZ#NYSE">FEZ</a>), and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>), now find themselves under the scanner.
EU leaders have already proposed a $108 billion retaliatory tariff package, raising further uncertainty. For investors, this also poses questions regarding currency risk, macro exposure, and the durability of European equities.
Inverse ETFs such as the ProShares Short MSCI EAFE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFZ#NYSE">EFZ</a>) or currency-hedged ETFs like the iShares Currency Hedged MSCI EMU ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEZU#NYSE">HEZU</a>) could provide short-term defensive opportunities for those who see turmoil coming.
Made-In-America ETFs: A Patriotic Pivot?
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45584696/trump-threatens-tim-cook-to-manufacture-iphones-in-the-us-or-face-at-least-25-tariffs">Trump&#8217;s tariff threats</a> push corporations to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., a new class of ETFs could benefit. Funds like the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) and 3D Printing ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRNT#BATS">PRNT</a>) focus on American innovation and reshoring trends. These could gain momentum now.
Bottom Line
As Trump again heats up tariff rhetoric, ETF investors should prepare for a possible second installment of trade war drama. Whether hedging against exposure, playing rotation into domestic names, or diversifying out of vulnerable sectors, the moment to prepare may be at hand. Because in this political market theater, even passive investors must remain actively vigilant.
