Reuters: U.S. decision to withdraw troops from Germany 'unacceptable' - Merkel ally
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s coordinator for transatlantic ties has criticised U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw thousands of troops from Germany.
Trump has ordered the U.S. military to remove 9,500 troops from Germany, a senior U.S. official said on Friday.
“This is completely unacceptable, especially since nobody in Washington thought about informing its NATO ally Germany in advance,” Peter Beyer, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives, told the Rheinische Post newspaper.
Following Trump’s decision, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a newspaper interview that he regretted the planned withdrawal of U.S. soldiers from Germany, describing Berlin’s relationship with the United States as “complicated”.

Oh I wish we had obamma back. He was such an understanding soggy spineless creampuff. We always got our way. Waaaah waaaah waaah. The evil Trump strikes again.
Merkel the ponderous idiot.
"The scientists found that people with both higher BMI (defined as equal to or greater than 30 kg/m2) and higher waist-to-hip ratio measurements had lower grey matter volume in the brain compared to those who were leaner. "
Germany is the richest NATO member outside the USA and the richest in the EU. Its military is feeble and acceptable to the German people. Polls have shown consistently Germans don't view the USA favorable. Germany is increasingly following an independent foreign policy from the USA and other NATO nations.
The challenge is in defending keeping any US troops in Germany.
Why do they care? The cold war is over. What's the point of US troops in Germany?
The cold war has been over 20 years. bring our boys home!
Let Europe fund their own defense!
Bring all military personnel home now
It's a new order
If America was treating Germany as Germany is treating us we shall have to move all our troops without any word.
Faster than China when its said its being done. I hope for renewed term. Its time for US to reap what they sow. Cant be used all the time.
- observant not from US
The US sowed West Germany.
The USSR sowed East Germany,
The population flow was form East Germany to West Germany.
Some dips conveniently forget that.
