The Wall Street Journal reported on April 8 that President Trump is considering a plan to withdraw U.S. military forces from countries he deems "unfriendly" in the context of the Iran war, as a way to "punish" certain NATO members.
The proposal involves relocating U.S. troops from "unfriendly" nations to countries that are perceived as more supportive of the Iran war. Reports indicate this could include closing some military bases, particularly in countries such as Spain or Germany. The plan is still in its early conceptual stage and is one of several proposed measures being discussed at the White House to penalize other NATO members.
Currently, around 84,000 U.S. soldiers are stationed in Europe. U.S. officials stated that countries such as Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece may benefit from this shift, as they are seen as supportive of the Iran war.
