Trump Considers Withdrawing 25,000 American Soldiers from Europe
The withdrawal of U.S. troops is likely to affect Germany, Italy, and Spain.
The American military contingent in Europe, including fighter jets, ships, weapons, and personnel, could be cut by a third, NBS News sources reported.
The withdrawal of U.S. troops is likely to affect Germany, Italy, and Spain, which President Donald Trump criticized this year for insufficient, in his opinion, assistance in the war against Iran, according to three American officials, one representative of Western countries, and a former U.S. official.
The bulk of American troops in Europe, numbering 80,000 personnel in total, are stationed in these three countries.
Despite warnings from Washington's NATO allies about the growing threat of Russian aggression, the U.S. could withdraw about 25,000 of its troops from Europe.
One American official and another source familiar with the discussions stated that the contingent could even be halved, meaning down to 40,000 personnel.
If the plan is implemented, it would be the most significant reduction in U.S. military presence on the continent since the end of the Cold War in the 1990s.
However, according to a senior Pentagon official and two other officials, no decisions have been made at this time.
