Donald Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe, The Telegraph can reveal.

Mr Trump is weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel out of Germany in a move that would further sour US-Europe relations.

"Trump is angry that they [Europe] appear to be pushing for war," a source close to the White House said.

Brian Hughes, a US national security spokesman, said: "While no specific announcement is imminent, the US military is always considering the redeployment of troops around the world to best address current threats to our interests."

The Telegraph understands that the president is considering redeploying troops from Germany to Hungary, which has maintained a close relationship with Russia.

At an emergency EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister, vetoed a commitment to bolster support for Ukraine which was signed by all other member states.

Mr Orbán has maintained a relatively close relationship with Russia, often opposing EU sanctions on Moscow.

Mr Trump is said to be considering repositioning some US troops in Europe so they are focused around Nato countries that have upped their defence spending to meet GDP targets.

Donald Trump Considers Pulling Troops Out of Germany and Relocating to Hungary

Let me get this straight, Trump says Russia has legit concerns about NATO, and therefore Ukraine isn't allowed to join NATO because Russia doesn't want NATO on their border, despite having multiple NATO countries on their border already but Trump's idea is to move American troops out of Germany and into Hungary which is even closer to Russia than Germany.

He wants to reposition some US troops in Europe to NATO countries that have upped their defence spending to meet NATO targets. Well, Donald Trump, Poland meets that 2% and is actually the highest spender in GDP % in NATO, even higher than America itself. The Baltic States have always met the 2%, Czech Republic and Romania also meet the 2%. As does Finland, all of these countries are either bordering with Russia or close to Russia, so I suppose that means America will be putting all their troops in these countries, right?

Or will America just be putting their troops in the pro-Russian country, Hungary?

I mean, 23/32 already meet the 2% target and that was because of Russia's invasion.

Remember when about two weeks ago I said that Trump's presidency has increased the likelihood of NATO troops fighting in Ukraine? And that I said it would be US soldiers fighting on Russia's side?

Yup, Trump is stupid enough to set things up in such a way and threaten Ukraine from the west. Not only does it create a second frontline, but Hungary is also the only NATO country that would be fine in being complicit to such actions.
