The White House has asked for a substantial reduction of US military personnel stationed in Germany, according to a US defense official
The official said that the exact size of the reduction has not been decided but a cut of 9,500 is the current tentative planning figure. The formal order to begin moving troops has yet to be given but is expected soon.There are approximately 34,000 US troops stationed in Germany.A spokesman for the Pentagon referred CNN to the National Security Council, which has not responded to the request for comment.The Wall Street Journal first reported the expected drawdown.
The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee slammed news of the planned drawdown, calling it"petty and preposterous" and a"favor" to Russian President Vladimir Putin."This order is petty and preposterous. It's another favor to Putin and another leadership failure by this administration that further strains relations with our allies," Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island told CNN in a statement.
