And via the Financial Times:

US to pull nearly 12,000 troops out of Germany

"The Trump administration is pulling nearly 12,000 troops out of Germany in a controversial move set to add to tensions within Nato.
The decision comes after President Donald Trump last month vowed to cap US troops stationed in Germany at 25,000 unless Berlin spent more on defence for the transatlantic security alliance. "

Seems like another reckless decision by the Trump led "regime" that doesn't make any strategic sense whatsoever, whatever you think of Germany's spending.

Mind you - look at NZ's dismal Defence contribution - here's the wake-up call...
