Trump issued an ominous threat to a key U.S. ally while speaking to reporters on Saturday. When a reporter asked why Trump is removing 5,000 troops from Germany, the president said that the scale will be larger. His comments come after GOP leaders rebuked Trump for the current reduction of troops, arguing that it sends the wrong signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
We're going to cut way down, Trump said. We're cutting a lot further than 5,000. The withdrawal of armed forces from Germany comes as the U.S. fights a war in Iran but struggles to recruit allies into the conflict.
