Germany's defence minister Boris Pistorius has sought to downplay the impact of the United States' decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from the country, describing the move as "foreseeable".

The announcement - by the US - follows a public falling out between President Donald Trump and Chancellor Friedrich Merz last week, after the German leader said the US had been "humiliated" by Iranian negotiators in the ongoing war.
