President Donald Trump has ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany, with threats of further reductions in Spain and Italy, escalating tensions within NATO.
The move has drawn criticism from both European leaders and senior U.S. lawmakers, who warn it sends the wrong signal to Russia and undermines transatlantic security. German officials have downplayed the immediate impact but acknowledge it highlights the need for Europe to strengthen its own defense capabilities. The decision is widely seen as part of a broader rift between the Trump administration and traditional U.S. allies, particularly over issues like Iran.
The troop drawdown raises questions about the future of NATO and the stability of the alliance in the face of growing internal divisions.
