Trump’s Germany Drawdown Questioned by Allies in US and NATO

US Orders Withdrawal of About 5,000 Troops From Germany

A new US drawdown of roughly 5,000 troops from Germany over the next year prompted strong questions from both NATO allies and Republicans in Congress.

A NATO spokesperson said the defense alliance is looking for details on the US effort, which was announced Friday, adding that Washington’s move underscores the need for Europe to continue to invest more in its own defense.
