The United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany, the Pentagon announced on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war widens between President Donald Trump and Europe.

Trump says the US is reviewing a potential reduction of its troops in Germany.President Donald Trump, who has criticized Germany and other NATO allies for not sending their navies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, said on Wednesday his administration is looking at reducing the number of ‌U.S. troops in Germany.

"The United States is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of Troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time," Trump said on Truth Social.

The U.S. had just over 68,000 active-duty military personnel assigned permanently in its overseas bases in Europe as of December 2025, data from the U.S. Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) shows.

More than half - about 36,400 - are based in Germany. That is a fraction of the 250,000 U.S. troops ⁠that were based there in 1985, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.

TRUMP AND MERZ SPAR OVER IRAN WAR"President Trump has rightly laid out that Europe must step ‌up, and ⁠NATO must no longer be a paper tiger," Colby said on X. "Germany is now taking the leading role in this. After years of disarmament, Berlin is stepping up."

.The German embassy had no immediate comment. The Pentagon referred queries to the White House, which had ⁠no immediate comment.

Trump has long been critical of Germany and other European countries for failing to spend more on their own defense, although he lauded NATO members decision to boost their defense spending to 5% of GDP.Trump sought a major reduction in U.S. troop levels in Germany during his first term, although that was never realized, said Jeff Rathke, a former U.S. diplomat and president of the ⁠American-German Institute at Johns Hopkins University.

Pentagon mulling more permanent US troops in Eastern Europe .

.美國總統（Donald Trump）正式兌現其削減歐洲駐軍的口頭威脅。美國國防部已證實，下令撤離約5000名駐德美軍，此舉動被外界視為華府對柏林當局的一次直接報復。.

國防部長赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）近日已下達撤軍指令。帕內爾表示，這項決定是在對歐洲兵力部署進行全面評估，並考量戰區需求與地面現況後做出，「預計撤離行動將在未來6至12個月內完成。

US to Withdraw 5,000 Troops from Germany Amid NATO Row .

BYE.BYE EU/GERMANY. WE ARE GONING TO HOME(USA).

.As of May 2, 2026, the Pentagon is planning to withdraw approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany within the next 6 to 12 months. This move follows President Donald Trumps directive, driven by tensions with German leadership over their stance on the U.S. conflict with Iran and concerns over NATO defense spending.

Scope of Withdrawal: The plan removes about 14% of the 36,000 American service members stationed in Germany.
Context: The decision follows criticism from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz regarding the U.S. war in Iran, which the Trump administration deemed "inappropriate and unhelpful".
Strategic Shift: The move aims to return U.S. troop levels in Europe to pre-2022 levels, pushing for Europe to assume primary responsibility for its own defense.
Impact: The withdrawal may impact, or involve, rotational forces, or entail moving permanently based units.
Reaction: While some defense officials were reportedly surprised, this move aligns with previous threats to reconfigure U.S. European military presenc.

2026.NATO 年度軍事演習極為可能性暫停.?

傳聞已有部分NATO.成員國已經下達終止2026.年度與美軍的聯合軍事演習.

並且表示年度的綜合軍事演習主角是美軍,指揮作戰系統也就是說就美軍幕後策劃,EU/NATO.只是木偶戲,被美國操縱配合演出,勞命傷財又破壞環境保護,造成環境污染,因為實兵實彈的軍事演習,已經將EU/NATO.參加演習的國家破壞,無法恢復過來的生態系統,例如森林的樹木,飛鳥,溪湖中的漁類,山區內的動物,牠們皆被飛彈,火炮與人類的武器殺死,有些甚至於是保育類的動物,植物及飛鳥,漁類,尤其甚者就是美軍公開的獵殺上述的動物,飛鳥,漁類就地烹煮食用,並且美其名就童子軍狩獵活動適合法的,尤其是北歐5 國受害最為嚴重,他們敢怒不敢言,雖然上報導NATO.總部反應就是不受理?

回覆就是來聞知悉,存檔備查,傳聞美軍不僅破壞生態環境,垃圾等雜物任意拋棄,沒有環保資源回收處理及焚燬,因為EU/NATO.軍事演習許多生活日用品,向中國採購,屬於消耗性的物質,其包野戰軍用口糧包裝紙盒,塑膠瓶及鋁罐飲料等民生物質,MADE IN CHINA這些物質符合EU.的環境保護規範,因此造成某些許EU/NATO.的政客逮到機會,製造政治事件,控訴中國在於EU/NATO.製造環境污染要求賠償,尤其是前瑞典極右翼組織的總理及騎成員,報復中國旅客不讓其住宿瑞典的旅館等等事件.
