Trump threatens to reduce troop numbers in Germany amid growing row with Nato allies | Germany

Donald Trump announced his administration is studying the possibility of reducing US troops in Germany, a move that could cause concern in Berlin and across Europe. Friedrich Merz, German chancellor, criticized the US's negotiations with Iran, suggesting they are not successful. Trump responded to Merz's comments, accusing him of supporting Iran's nuclear program. The president has previously threatened to withdraw from NATO, citing European allies' lack of support for US-Israeli actions against Iran and the closure of the Hormuz strait.
