Brussels: NATO announced on Saturday that it is working with the United States to clarify Washington's decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany. The alliance expressed its intention to engage with the US to gain a clearer understanding of the specifics surrounding this force posture decision.
According to Emirates News Agency, NATO spokeswoman Allison Hart, writing on social media platform X, emphasized the significance of this development.
