The Pentagon announced a withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany and a six-month review of US force posture in Europe after President Donald Trump renewed sharp criticism of several NATO members at a White House meeting with Mark Rutte.Mr. Trump said he was disappointed that Germany refused a personal request and expressed frustration with France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain while praising Poland and Mark Rutte and commending Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj for resisting Russia.Mark Rutte responded that allied support has strengthened overall, pointing to rising defense budgets across
NATO and Canada, and both leaders said burden-sharing and troop posture will dominate the
NATO summit in Ankara.
