US rift with EU allies grows : Hegseth orders withdrawal of troops from Germany

Germany is reassessing its security reliance on the United States after Washington said it will withdraw 5,000 personnel stationed in the country, fuelling concerns over a weaker American commitment to European defence.

The move coincides with President Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs on EU-made cars, a step analysts say could cost Germany up to $15bn a year.
