The US War Department is considering reducing 5,000 military forces stationed in Europe.
According to reports, the US Department of War (Pentagon) is considering reducing 5,000 US military forces out of a total of almost 80,000 forces stationed in Europe.
The biggest troop reductions will take place in Germany, while NATO's eastern flank is expected to be strengthened.
The increase in European defense costs and Washington's use of European bases in the war against Iran were cited as factors in this decision.
