Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said he was unaware of a U.S.-Germany treaty dispute that has exposed large numbers of U.S. military members to big tax penalties from German finance authorities.

Blinken, who was in Germany on Sept. 8 to discuss with allies evacuation efforts in Afghanistan with U.S. allies, told reporters he was “unaware” of the matter but pledged to “look into it,” Stars and Stripes reported.
