PARIS, May ⁠2 (Reuters) - NATO is working with ⁠the United States to understand the ‌details of the U.S. decision for a planned drawdown of U.S. troops from Germany, ​NATO spokesperson Allison Hart ⁠said on Saturday.

"We ⁠are working with the U.S. to ⁠understand the ‌details of their decision on force posture in ⁠Germany. This adjustment underscores the need ​for ‌Europe to continue to invest more ⁠in defence ​and take on a greater share of the responsibility for our ⁠shared security - where we're already ​seeing progress since Allies agreed to invest 5% of GDP at the ⁠NATO Summit in The Hague last year," wrote Hart on X.

"We remain confident in our ability to ​provide for our deterrence ⁠and defence as this shift towards ​a stronger Europe ‌in a stronger NATO ​continues," she added.
