NATO: working with US to understand details of troop reduction in Germany

NATO is working with the United States to ​understand the details of the ‌U.S. decision for a planned drawdown of U.S. troops from Germany, NATO spokesperson ​Allison Hart said on Saturday.

"We ​are working with the U.S. ⁠to understand the details of ​their decision on force posture in ​Germany. This adjustment underscores the need for Europe to continue to invest more ​in defence and take on ​a greater share of the responsibility for ‌our ⁠shared security - where we're already seeing progress since Allies agreed to invest 5% of GDP at ​the NATO ​Summit ⁠in The Hague last year," wrote Hart on ​X.

"We remain confident in our ​ability ⁠to provide for our deterrence and defence as this shift ⁠towards ​a stronger Europe in ​a stronger NATO continues," she added.
