NATO’s top commander said Tuesday that US President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany does not hurt the alliance’s defences.

“I’d like to emphasise this decision does not impact the executability of our regional plans,” US General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, told journalists.

“As allies build up their capability, the United States is able to pull capability back and use it for other global priorities, so I’m very comfortable with where we are,” he added.
