[Regnum] The United States will withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany. Reuters reported this on May 1.

"The troop withdrawal is planned to be completed within the next six to 12 months," the agency noted, citing the Pentagon.

As a result of the withdrawal of the contingent, the size of the American army in Europe will be reduced to approximately the level it was before 2022.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced that the White House administration was considering reducing the US military contingent stationed in Germany. A decision on this matter will be made soon. Later, the White House chief announced that American forces in Italy and Spain could also be reduced.

On March 20, Trump, commenting on NATO's refusal to participate in the conflict with Iran, called the alliance a "paper tiger." He threatened that the United States would remember how NATO partners refused to facilitate free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, even though its blockade is the key factor driving up oil prices.
