President Donald Trump, via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany due to European allies' insufficient support for U.S. operations against Iran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced the move follows a force posture review and will occur over six to twelve months, primarily affecting a brigade combat team and halting a planned long-range fires battalion deployment. The decision fulfills prior threats and escalates tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the ongoing conflict.
