Congress and the Trump administration are locked in a constitutional standoff over the president's authority to withdraw U.S. forces from Europe, with the 2026 NDAA setting a floor of 76,000 troops and requiring certification before further reductions. The dispute, triggered by Trump's order to pull 5,000 troops from Germany and threats to withdraw from Italy and Spain, raises unresolved questions about the boundaries of commander-in-chief power, burden-sharing within NATO, and the economic consequences of military repositioning on both sides of the Atlantic.
