Trump does not want to withdraw all US soldiers from Europe
Could the United States possibly bring all US soldiers stationed in Europe? No, says Donald Trump. It is open whether the number could be reduced in the future.
US President Donald Trump does not plan all American soldiers from Europe. “I wouldn’t want to do that,” Trump said when he was performed in his estate Mar-A-Lago in the state of Florida when asked whether he would be ready to take such a step as part of a peace agreement in the Ukraine conflict. The 78-year-old emphasized that the question doesn’t really arise either. “Nobody asked me to do it. So I don’t think we have to do that.”
At first, Trump did not comment on a possible reduction in the number of American soldiers in Europe. According to the European Command of the US Armed Forces (Eucom), around 78,000 American soldiers are currently stationed in Europe-including around 37,000 in Germany. Since Trump’s taking office, fears have been avoided that the US President could reduce the number. He had already followed such efforts during his first term.
US defense minister Pete Hegseth said a few days ago when you visited a troop in Stuttgart, it was not immediately planned to reduce the number of American soldiers in Europe. However, Hegseth emphasized: “There is agreement that we will check the argument worldwide.”
