U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to cut the U.S. military presence in Germany by more than the 5,000-troop drawdown announced so far, even as Republican allies and NATO countries questioned the move.
¡°We¡¯re going to cut way down,¡± Trump told reporters Saturday as he boarded Air Force One in Florida, without offering additional details about his plans or rationale. ¡°And we¡¯re cutting a lot further than 5,000.¡±
Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with European nations, accusing them of ignoring his requests for help in the U.S. war with Iran and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
