JAKARTA - The United States (US) Department of War is considering canceling the sale of Tomahawk missiles previously planned for Germany due to concerns about possible reactions from Russia.
According to a Politico report, another reason driving the possibility of canceling the deal was the United States' concerns about its own missile stockpiles shrinking after the military operation against Iran.
Politico also reported that the Pentagon had not revealed plans for about 5,000 military personnel who were originally to be sent to Germany before the dispute between US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
After the dispute, the War Department reportedly canceled the deployment of the troops.
Germany is said to be concerned that Europe must close the gap in its defense capabilities more quickly than the region's defense industry is able to meet it, amid a reduced presence of the United States military in Europe, the Politico report added.
