Pentagon to withdraw 5,000 US troops from Germany within 6-12 months

The Pentagon announces that 5,000 American soldiers out of 36,000 stationed in Germany will leave within 6-12 months, following escalating tensions between German Chancellor and President Trump. NATO spokesperson Alison Hart states the alliance is working with the United States to understand details of the decision. The move appears to have surprised NATO, which was announced following recent confrontations between US and German leadership.
