美国国防部周五表示，美国将在未来一年内从德国撤离约5000名士兵。
此次撤军行动此前因德国总理批评美国对伊战争，遭到美国总统唐纳德·特朗普猛烈抨击。撤军后美国在德国仍将留有超过3万名士兵。
“国防部长已下令从德国撤离约5000名士兵，”五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在一份声明中表示。“这一决定是在对国防部在欧洲的部队部署态势进行全面审查后作出的，是对战区需求和当地实际情况的回应。我们预计撤军将在未来6至12个月内完成。”
本周早些时候，德国总理弗里德里希·默茨称美国正被伊朗“羞辱”，特朗普随后暗示将削减驻德美军规模。
周一默茨在德国中部一所学校访问期间，指责美国官员发动一场没有明确战略的战争，称“至少可以说，整个事件考虑不周”。
“伊朗人显然很擅长谈判，或者说，非常擅长不谈判，他们让美国人前往伊斯兰堡，然后空手而归，”默茨说。“整个国家都在被伊朗领导层羞辱，尤其是被所谓的革命卫队。因此我希望这场危机能尽快结束。”
特朗普周二表示，默茨在伊朗问题上“根本不知道自己在说什么”，并于次日宣布美国正在“研究和审查”可能的撤军计划。
在特朗普威胁从德国撤军之前，默茨曾表示他与美国总统的关系仍然“良好”。
特朗普曾在2020年第一任期内、安吉拉·默克尔担任德国总理期间，威胁过削减驻德美军人数。
根据其官网信息，德国拥有拉姆施泰因空军基地——美国驻欧洲空军司令部所在地，该司令部负责“空运、空投和航空医疗后送行动”，同时这里也是北大西洋公约组织的一处设施。
根据美国国防人力数据中心的数据，截至2025年12月，共有36436名现役美军士兵永久驻扎在德国。
由于美国未经大多数北约盟友知情就发动对伊战争，欧洲各国领导人与特朗普政府之间的摩擦加剧。特朗普还指责盟友在这场冲突中提供的帮助不足，并于周四威胁削减美国在意大利和西班牙的驻军规模。
“我的意思是，他们根本没有配合，”被问及相关可能性时特朗普说道。“是的，大概率会这么做，”他补充道，“为什么不呢？意大利没有提供任何帮助。西班牙的表现糟透了，绝对的。”
与其他一些欧洲国家一样，德国仅向美国提供了有限的军事支持，最突出的是允许美军使用其军事基础设施，例如空军基地开展与冲突相关的行动——不过德国不允许这些基地被用作直接进攻性打击的集结地。
默茨还承诺，一旦冲突进入战后阶段，德国将提供进一步援助，其中可能包括参与潜在的国际稳定任务。
为此，柏林最近宣布将派遣一艘海军扫雷舰前往地中海，为一旦敌对状态永久结束后重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的行动做准备。但这些行动并未让特朗普满意。

US withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany after chancellor criticized war with Iran

The Pentagon said on Friday the US will be withdrawing roughly 5,000 troops from Germany over the next year.
The move, which comes after President Donald Trump lashed out the German chancellor over his criticism of the US war with Iran, would still leave more than 30,000 US troops in the country.
“The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 troops from Germany,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “This decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and conditions on the ground. We expect the withdrawal to be completed over the next six to twelve months.”
Trump foreshadowed the cuts earlier this week after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US was being “humiliated” by Iran.
During his visit to a school in central Germany on Monday, Merz accused US officials of entering a war without a clear strategy, saying the “whole affair is ill-considered to say the least.”
“The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skillful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” Merz said. “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible.”
Trump on Tuesday said Merz “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” on Iran and the following day announced that the US was “studying and reviewing” a possible troop reduction.
Ahead of Trump’s threat to pull some troops from Germany, Merz had said his relationship with the American president remained “good.”
Trump previously threatened to reduce troop numbers in the country in 2020, during his first tenure in office and while Angela Merkel held the German chancellorship.
Germany is home to Ramstein Air Base, which is the headquarters for US Air Forces in Europe — including the unit that does “airlift, airdrop and aeromedical evacuation operations” — and a North Atlantic Treaty Organization installation, according to its website.
As of December 2025, there were 36,436 active-duty US military personnel permanently stationed in Germany, according to data from the US Defense Manpower Data Center.
Friction between European leaders and the Trump administration has intensified due to the war with Iran, which the US launched without notifying most NATO allies. The president has also lashed out at allies for what he sees as insufficient help in the conflict, threatening to cut troop levels in Italy and Spain on Thursday as well.
“I mean, they haven’t been exactly on board,” he answered, when asked about the possibility. “Yeah, probably will,” he added, “Why shouldn’t I? Italy has not been of any help. Spain has been horrible. Absolutely.”
Germany, like some other European countries, has offered limited military support to the US, most notably allowing the use of its military infrastructure, such as air bases, for operations related to the conflict — though it has not permitted these to be used as staging grounds for direct offensive strikes.
Merz has also pledged further German assistance under the condition the conflict moves to a post-war phase, which could include participating in a potential international stabilization mission.
To that effect, Berlin recently announced a naval minesweeper will be deployed to the Mediterranean Sea in preparation for efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, once a lasting end to hostilities is reached. These actions, however, have failed to satisfy Trump.
