Donald Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe, The Telegraph can reveal.
Mr Trump is weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel out of Germany in a move that would further sour US-Europe relations.
The US president, who has repeatedly warned that Europe must commit more to its defensive capabilities, is becoming increasingly frustrated that the continent is “pushing for war”, sources close to the administration said.
Around 160,000 active-duty personnel are stationed outside of the United States, a vast quantity of whom are in Germany.
“Trump is angry that they [Europe] appear to be pushing for war,” a source close to the White House said.
Brian Hughes, a US national security spokesman, said: “While no specific announcement is imminent, the US military is always considering the redeployment of troops around the world to best address current threats to our interests.”

Poland is also solid for the US, and we've been getting pretty cozy with Armenia lately as well.
