A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters, confirmed to The Associated Press that there are plans to move troops, saying some could go to Poland while others could go elsewhere. ADIf the U.S. goes ahead, Kramp-Karrenbauer suggested the move would do more harm to NATO as a whole than to Germany’s own defense. “The fact is that the presence of U.S. soldiers in Germany serves the entire NATO alliance security, including America’s own security,” she said. “If this is confirmed, you have to ask yourself what impact this will have on NATO and the security architecture in Europe,” Beyer said. Germany has been increasing its defense spending and the issue of troops had lain dormant for many months.
