Introduction

The United States is taking 5,000 soldiers out of Germany. The USA and Europe disagree about money and safety.

Main Body

The USA pays for most of the safety in NATO. Other countries do not pay enough. Some people say NATO has too many members now. This makes the group weak. The USA and Germany are angry. They do not agree about Iran. The USA also wants to put a tax on cars from Europe. This will hurt the German economy. Germany says Europe must protect itself now. European countries want to spend more money on weapons. But some people fear that Russia will see this as a weakness.

Conclusion

The USA is leaving Germany because of money and arguments. Now, Europe must make its own army stronger.
