US President Donald Trump says that his administration is reviewing the possible reduction of US troops in Germany, adding that a decision will be made shortly, Reuters reports.

“The United States is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of Troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump’s statement follows his criticism of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday over the war in Iran, a day after Merz said the Iranians were humiliating the US in talks to end it.
