Trump says US reviewing possible reduction of its troops in Germany
Reuters ^ | April 29, 2026

Posted on 04/29/2026 4:00:07 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his ‌administration was reviewing the ‌possible reduction of U.S. troops in Germany, ​adding that a decision would be made shortly.

"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 United States in talks ‌to end it.

Trump's administration ​has also repeatedly ​engaged in ​scathing criticism of many ‌of the NATO members ​for not ​assisting in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, including berating some ​for not ‌sending their navies to help ​open the Strait of Hormuz.

The problem for us isn’t the Russians, it is the muslims in Europe. Reduce our troop levels in Germany. Let Germans deal with the problem they’re creating.

Long past due. There is currently no way out for Germany and Europe. For reason that only appear to be supernatural, their leaders began and continue to import hordes of Muslims who have repeatedly stated their goal is to conquer their host countries. And it will only take about another decade for the Muslims to secure their host countries.

They have London and almost all major British cities. It is only a matter of short time before they begin to be a national electoral force. Look at how all Minnesota politicians pander and beg Somalis for political support. Now watch that sweep happen all across Europe on the national level.

Germans and Europeans don’t want free speech. They continue to import tens of millions of Muslims. They want the Ukrainian war to continue?

Get out now!

Excellent news, if the plan is to not transfer them to another NATO country. Time to draw down the U.S. forces over there. Let them take care of their own security.

Good! Reduce troops in Germany. Pull them out of Spain and Italy entirely.

“The United States has stationed nuclear weapons in Germany since 1955, currently numbering 10 to 15 tactical nuclear gravity bombs. “

Paywall. There was 275k troops there when I served there in the 70’s. Mansfield Amendment didn’t pass. Do it again now.

Good, they like our money but hate the troops. Ugly Americans they call us. Lets see how this affects their economy. How much do we spend there for them to hate us?
