Working With US to Understand Details of Troop Reduction in Germany

PARIS, May 2 (Reuters) – ⁠NATO ⁠is working with ⁠the United States to ​understand the details of the U.S. ‌decision for a planned ‌drawdown of U.S. ⁠troops ⁠from Germany, NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said on ​Saturday.

“We are working with the U.S. to understand the details ​of their decision on force posture ⁠in Germany. ⁠This adjustment underscores ⁠the ​need for Europe to continue to invest ​more ⁠in defence and take on a greater share of the responsibility for our shared ⁠security – where we’re already seeing progress since Allies ⁠agreed to invest 5% of GDP at the NATO Summit in The Hague last year,” wrote Hart on X.

“We remain confident in our ability to provide for our deterrence ⁠and defence as this shift towards a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO continues,” she ​added.
