The United States has intensified its use of Lajes Air Base in the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean in recent weeks. This base has become a key element in the US strategy to strengthen its military presence in the region. The Azores, located in a strategically important point in the Atlantic, play a vital role in transatlantic operations. The increased activity at Lajes Air Base indicates growing US attention to security in the North Atlantic. This is also linked to the need to support operations in Europe and Africa.
