The US announced on Tuesday (13 April) it will ramp up its forces by 500 additional troops in Germany amid the latest tensions with Russia over Ukraine, in a reversal of former President Donald Trump’s plans to cut troops in the fellow NATO country by a third.
Last June Trump announced his intention to withdraw around 12,000 of the 36,000 troops from Germany, saying Berlin had been taking advantage of the US while not meeting its defence spending obligations to NATO.
The plans were put on hold and under review this February, just after the new Biden administration had taken office.
Biden’s move is seen as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Germany and European NATO allies, which also fills a practical need that commanders in Europe had identified months ago.

BERLIN Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Tuesday that he is expanding the U.S. military presence in Germany by 500 troops and has stopped planning for large-scale troop cuts ordered by the Trump administration.
“This planned increase in U.S. personnel underscores our commitment to Germany and the entire NATO alliance,” Austin said in a notable counterpoint to the Trump administration’s repeated complaints that Germany is a weak partner on defense and security.
