The US will withdraw 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany. The Pentagon confirmed this information on Friday (May 1). Reuters reported this information.
\nThe withdrawal process must be completed within the next 6 to 12 months under the direction of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that there are currently about 36,400 US troops deployed in Germany, which is the largest US military presence in Europe. The decision is being seen as a response to the growing conflict between the US and the military alliance NATO.
\nRecently, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized Trump’s position on the Iran war. He said that Iran was embarrassing the US in the negotiations. This angered Trump. At that time, he warned of reducing the number of troops in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
