Trump Withdraws 5,000 Troops From Germany Over Iran Row

The US is pulling 5,000 troops from Germany after Donald Trump feuded with Chancellor Friedrich Merz over his criticism of the US-Israeli war effort against Iran. The move marks a dramatic rupture in the transatlantic alliance, with Washington simultaneously warning Europe that the Iran conflict is draining weapons stockpiles and may delay arms shipments — including those supporting Ukraine. The withdrawal affects one of the largest US military deployments in Europe.
