April 30 (UPI) -- U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans that could see cuts to the tens of thousands of U.S. forces stationed across 20 bases in Germany.
Writing on his Truth Social platform Wednesday night, Trump said the process of scaling back the United States' eight-decade-long military presence was already underway.
"The United States is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time," Trump wrote.
The announcement came two days after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran was running circles around the United States in ongoing peace negotiations to end the military conflict, saying "the Americans clearly have no strategy."
