Bloomberg: US to cut American troops in Europe by 5,000 rather than 25,000, as European leaders feared

The reduction of the American troop presence in Europe may turn out to be much smaller in scale than European leaders feared, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. According to the outlet, US European allies currently expect the withdrawal of about 5,000 American servicemembers instead of 25,000. Bloomberg's sources note that the US positively assessed the increase in defence spending by NATO.
