Donald Trump has said the United States is reviewing its military presence in Germany, raising the possibility of troop reductions amid rising tensions with Berlin. The statement comes after remarks by Friedrich Merz, who criticised the US approach to the Iran conflict and questioned Washington’s strategy. With more than 36,000 US troops currently stationed in Germany, any potential reduction could have major implications for European security and the broader NATO alliance.

A major incident unfolded at a gurdwara in Moers, Germany, where a large group clash inside the religious premises triggered panic among those present. Reports indicate that around 40 individuals were involved, leading to a rapid escalation of the situation. German authorities launched a significant response, deploying nearly 100 police officers along with special tactical units to secure the area and restore order. Emergency services treated several people at the scene, while officials worked to assess the full extent of the incident.
