Germany says withdrawal of American troops from country could weaken NATO's defences
Germany hosts more U.S. troops than any other country in Europe, a legacy of the Allied occupation after the Second World War. FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY -- Germany on Sunday voiced concern at reports that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to cut the number of American troops stationed in Germany, amid fears it could weaken a key pillar of NATO defence in the region.
"We appreciate the cooperation with the U.S. armed forces that has grown over decades. It is in the interest of both of our countries." There was no immediate confirmation from U.S. officials about the alleged plan to slash U.S. troop numbers in Germany and cap them at 25,000 in future. Johann Wadephul, a senior member in Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative CDU party, said the troop reduction plan should showed that the Trump administration was "neglecting an elementary leadership task: involving alliance partners in the decision-making process".
