On April 30, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Washington is 'studying and reviewing the possible reduction of troops in Germany,' with a decision expected 'over the next short period of time.' The threat came directly after Chancellor Merz said Iran was 'humiliating' the US at the negotiating table — a comment Trump flatly rejected, calling Merz someone who 'doesn't know what he's talking about.' Berlin says it's 'prepared.' The next day, Trump extended the threat to Italy and Spain. South Korea, with 28,500 US troops of its own, is watching anxiously.
