President Trump announced the US is "studying and reviewing" a reduction of its 36,000 troops in Germany after Chancellor Friedrich Merz publicly criticized the US-Israeli war against Iran, calling the campaign "ill-considered" and saying Washington was being "humiliated" by Tehran. The threat reprises a pattern dating to the Eisenhower era but comes amid an active military conflict, surging oil prices from the Strait of Hormuz closure, and a fractured European response to the war — raising the stakes for transatlantic security, NATO cohesion, and the military balance against Russia.
