Trump has assured that the US will withdraw "far more than 5,000 military personnel" from Germany
On the other hand, he has indicated that he will soon consider the plan that Iran has sent him to end the war.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he plans to withdraw "more than 5,000 American soldiers" from Germany. The decision comes amid a clash with European allies over the lack of support in the war against Iran.
"We're going to drastically reduce it, and we're going to reduceit by more than 5,000, "Trump said in Florida.
Senior Pentagon officials said yesterday that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had ordered the withdrawal of "about 5,000 troops from Germany. "
They explained that this decision has been motivated by "operational needs and conditions," but comes amid tensions between the Trump administration and its European allies, who are accused of not cooperating in the Iranian conflict.
According to Pentagon sources, "the withdrawal will be completed in the next six or twelve months. "
The United States has a total of 68,000 troops deployed in Europe in 12 countries.
36,000 are in Germany and the second largest, 12,000, in Italy.
In Spain there are 3,800 American soldiers.
Iran's negotiating plan
On the other hand, Trump has indicated that he will soon consider the plan that Iran has sent him to end the war, a few hours after assuring him that Iran's proposals were not good.
"I will soon review the plan that Iran has sent us, but I cannot think it is acceptable because they have not yet paid enough price for what they have done to humanity and the world for the past 47 years," the US president said in a statement on the Truth social network.
