2:14Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States will significantly reduce its troop presence in Germany, indicating the cuts will go beyond the Pentagon’s previously announced withdrawal of about 5,000 troops. Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump said, “We’re going to cut way down. And we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000,” without providing further details. The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over U.S. commitments to European security.
