Germany says US troop withdrawal 'foreseeable' as Nato seeks clarification

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the US decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany was 'foreseeable'. He emphasized that the presence of American soldiers in Europe, particularly in Germany, is in the interest of both nations. NATO officials expressed concerns that Washington's decision could weaken the alliance. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that the greatest threat to the transatlantic community is the ongoing disintegration of the alliance.
