The United States (US) has decided to withdraw at least 5,000 troops from Germany, the Pentagon said on Friday, as President Donald Trump continues to criticise the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) over its stance against America's conflict against Iran in the Middle East.
The withdrawal is likely to take place in the next six to 12 months, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said, adding that the “decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground.”
