The United States is reportedly preparing to speed up the withdrawal of its military personnel from bases across Europe, according to a report published by Germany’s Welt am Sonntag. The newspaper cited an unnamed Pentagon source who said Washington will present its updated troop reduction strategy to NATO allies during a key defense meeting scheduled for next month.
The planned military withdrawal follows an earlier announcement made in May regarding the removal of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany. The decision was widely viewed as being linked to growing tensions between President Donald Trump and several European governments over policy differences related to Iran. Germany currently hosts around 35,000 active-duty U.S. military personnel, making it the largest American military presence in Europe.
When the Pentagon first revealed the troop reduction plan, officials indicated that the process would likely take between six and twelve months to complete. However, the latest report suggests that the timeline could be accelerated, although no specific details have been provided regarding the exact pace of the withdrawal or which military installations may be affected.
According to the report, the United States intends to formally discuss its revised strategy with NATO partners at the upcoming NATO Force Sourcing Conference. The meeting is expected to be closely watched by European allies, as changes to U.S. troop deployments could have significant implications for regional security and defense cooperation.
The Pentagon has not yet issued an official response to the report and did not immediately comment on the claims. Analysts continue to monitor developments surrounding U.S. military presence in Europe, as any large-scale troop withdrawal could influence NATO operations, transatlantic relations, and future defense planning across the continent.
The potential acceleration of the U.S. troop withdrawal remains a major topic of discussion among NATO members and international security experts ahead of next month’s conference.
