The announcement is a rebuke of the United States' recurring threats to reduce efforts within the NATO military alliance.
We are ready for it. We are having in-depth discussions about the future, and, based on trust among NATO members - we expect American decisions regarding this, says German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on a visit to Morocco on Thursday.
US President Donald Trump counters by criticizing the German government for not participating in a war with Iran.
"The German Chancellor (Friedrich Merz) should spend more time ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (where he has been completely ineffective) and fixing his broken country," Trump writes on Truth Social.
