Charlie McCarthy reports in Newsmax that President Donald Trump is considering the redeployment of American troops from Germany to Hungary. He writes:
President Donald Trump is considering the withdrawal of 35,000 active U.S. troops from Germany and redeploying them to Hungary, it was reported.
Such a move would “further sour” U.S.-Europe relations, The Telegraph reported Friday.
Trump “is angry that they [Europe] appear to be pushing for war,” a source told the outlet.
The president has said that ending the Ukraine-Russia war is among his top goals. He also has demanded that NATO partners contribute more financially for defense.
European Union leaders Thursday backed new defense spending plans aimed at freeing up billions of euros for the continent’s security, amid concern that under the Trump administration, could have to fend for itself in the future.
Later that day, Trump renewed doubts over his commitment to the NATO alliance, saying countries that are not spending adequately on their militaries do not deserve defense.
“If they don’t pay, I’m not going to defend them,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.
Roughly 160,000 active-duty personnel are stationed outside of the U.S., with a vast quantity in Germany.
