Romania, Poland, and the Baltic states are eagerly making the case for receiving more American troops after Donald Trump and other US officials talked about a possible troop withdrawal from Germany, according to Politico US . Last month, the fiery US president said he would pull 5,000 or more soldiers from Germany, a traditional host of American forces since the Second World War. The withdrawal comes after German chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran had “humiliated” the US with its negotiation tactics over the Hormuz Strait closure.
