US to Withdraw 5,000 Troops from Germany Amid Donald Trump's Feud with Merkel

The Pentagon has ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany as part of a broader redeployment amid tensions between President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The move is seen as retaliation to Scholz's decision not to attend a NATO summit in Brussels where Trump was expected to discuss the withdrawal. The deployment will take place over several months, according to Pentagon officials.
