Trump moves to cut U.S. troops in Germany by a quarter
Berlin reports Trump plans to reduce active duty troops in Germany from about 34 500 to 25 000 by September amid warnings the move could weaken NATO and U.S. global readiness. Congress was not informed and a bipartisan push urged reconsideration. Critics note U.S. bases like Ramstein and Grafenwoehr serve Europe, Africa and the Middle East, not solely German defense. The plan follows years of pressure for Germany to raise defense spending.
