The Pentagon is rumored to be reconsidering its plan to send Tomahawk missiles to Germany, according to a report by Politico on Thursday. Concerns have been raised that such a move could be perceived by Russia as an escalation.

U.S. officials are reportedly worried that Russia may retaliate if the Trump administration decides to move forward with deploying precision missiles in Europe. The report, which has not yet been confirmed by Reuters, cites sources including two European officials and one American official.

As tensions remain high in the region, the decision to cancel the missile plan could signify a diplomatic effort to avoid further confrontation with Moscow.
