The U.S. administration has reportedly begun work to reduce part of the U.S. military force stationed in Germany.
CBS and Reuters reported on the 1st, citing a U.S. Department of Defense official, that the Trump administration is pushing a plan to cut about 5,000 U.S. troops in Germany.
Senior Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed the plan to reduce U.S. forces in Germany to Reuters, saying, "This troop adjustment is expected to be completed within six to 12 months."
The move took shape just days after President Trump publicly raised the possibility of reducing U.S. forces in Germany. On the 29th of last month, President Trump said he was reviewing a plan to shrink the U.S. troop presence in Germany and noted that a related decision would come soon.
