US allies in Europe anticipate that President Donald Trump will withdraw more forces from the continent after he announced he would pull 5,000 troops out of Germany, people familiar with the matter said.
Top diplomats from NATO allies forecast that Trump will announce more drawdowns, possibly including from Italy, and scrap a plan dating back to Joe Biden’s presidency to station long-range missiles in Germany, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.
