🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇷 The Iran war is limiting how far Trump can reduce U.S. troop levels in Europe.
European allies had expected up to 25,000 of the roughly 80,000 American troops on the continent to leave.
The reduction is now expected to be smaller, mainly affecting Germany, with some forces moving east.
The reason is practical: European bases help the U.S. operate against Iran.
The review also faces a congressional floor of roughly 76,000 troops and an incoming Democratic-controlled House.
Trump’s plan to scale back the U.S. presence in Europe is running into the demands of the Middle East conflict.
