US President Joe Biden said on the 4th that he is reviewing the deployment of US troops around the world to rectify the policies of former President Trump.
In his speech at the State Department today, President Biden said Defense Secretary Lloyd Osti will reconsider the deployment of US troops worldwide, taking into account US foreign policy and national security.
He stressed that the planned US withdrawal from Germany will be suspended while the review is underway.
Earlier, former President Trump reduced the number of US troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan in accordance with a policy of “American First”.
He then announced plans to withdraw a third of the US troops deployed in Germany, criticizing Germany for not paying enough of its defense cost share.
As a result, European allies expressed concern over the plan to reduce US troops in Germany.
Meanwhile, President Biden did not directly mention US troops in the Asia-Pacific region. This review is drawing attention to how this will affect the deployment of US troops in the region.
