Politico reports the Pentagon is expected to cancel delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Germany, citing US concerns that Moscow would view the shipment as an escalation, according to two European officials and one US official. German leaders warn non-delivery would void a Biden-era agreement and leave Berlin short of urgently needed defensive capability. US officials frame the move as part of a broader pullback within NATO that is straining long-standing partnerships. US Defense Secretary told Congress last month that replenishing munitions expanded in the Iran conflict will take "months to years."
