Trump’s troop cuts in Europe could be blocked by Congress — here’s how he might get around it
President Donald Trump’s effort to broadly pull U.S. troops from key NATO allies over resistance to the Iran war could run into new limits imposed by Congress, but the administration may have a way around them. Trump ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany Friday, a drawdown that will happen over the next six to 12 months, according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell. Lawmakers have restricted large-scale troop reductions in Europe below 76,000.
