Macron on Withdrawal of US Troops from Germany

"We are strengthening our security and defense. This is a message for us (referring to Trump's decision), and we need to make our own defense decisions," said the French president to reporters ahead of the European Political Community summit.

Earlier, German Chancellor Merkel also commented on Trump's statements regarding the withdrawal of troops, specifically stating that this decision is not related to the disagreements between him and the US President on the Iran issue. According to her, it concerns the units that were deployed on a temporary basis during Biden's administration.
