President Donald Trump plans to pull about 20,000 U.S. troops from Europe, according to a leading Italian news agency.

A European diplomatic source told ANSA that Trump, who entered office on Monday for a second term, wants to reduce the American contingent in Europe by about 20 percent and plans to ask for a “financial contribution” for the maintenance of the remaining troops.

    But then we also withdraw from the Plaza accords.

    The Plaza Accord ended in 1987. It was replaced with the Louvre Accord.

      You are right. But I still see most people refer to the Plaza accords. I guess those are just more well known.
