US to withdraw about 5,000 troops from Germany

The Pentagon has announced plans to withdraw about 5,000 U.S. troops stationed in Germany. The move follows a public spat between President Trump and Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had said Iran was 'humiliating' Washington.

The withdrawal would reduce the total U.S. military presence in Germany from around 35,000 to 30,000 troops. The decision has been reported by multiple media outlets and confirmed by the Pentagon.
