Reuters: German states appeal to U.S. Congress not to withdraw troops
BERLIN (Reuters) - The premiers of four German states have appealed to members of the U.S. Congress to block plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany, according to letters seen by Reuters on Sunday.
President Donald Trump said last month he would cut the number of U.S. troops in Germany by 9,500 to 25,000, faulting the fellow NATO member for failing to meet the North Atlantic alliance’s defence spending target and accusing it of taking advantage of America on trade.
The prime ministers of the four southern states, all home to U.S. bases, addressed the letters to 13 members of Congress including senators Mitt Romney and Jim Inhofe.

This is not out of friendship of love is the US. It’s purely an economic panic move. Those bases support those German states. It’s been a fountain of free money for the Germans up to this point and they’re realizing it’s about to dry up.
Uh oh, frau merkel.
"The letter was sent Friday to 13 members of the Senate and the House of Representatives on defense and security-related committees, or who have expressed opposition to Trump’s decision, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported. The senators include Utah Republican Mitt Romney and Delaware Democrat Chris Coons."
Romney has been a nobody since he let Candy Ass Crowley 'fact check' him. He was winning the debates and then Candy Ass did Democrat Party yeoman work. Romney let the Democrat Party use hi as a doormat and all he can do in return is attack Republicans. Stockholm syndrome.
Chris Coons is a nobody too.
Look for more Polish spouses for US servicemen and women instead of German.
How come the media isn't suggesting Merkel works for Russia? After all there are few people on this planet who've been as destructive as her to the stability of the EU
Her immigration policy hurt Germans, and caused the UK to leave the EU.
Her defunding and demoralisation of the Bundeswehr.. her oil deal with Putin...
Now this- caused because she kept insulting the US president.
The answer: because our media lies, lies, lies
Merkel is the Anti-Trump.
Trump is the anti-Merkel
#1
Merkel has a Germany energy dependent on Putin.
Trump Energy independent Ameriva.
#2
Merkel has weak military and getting weaker.
US stronger military under Trump.
#3
Merkel open border.
Trump controlled borders. A wall with many beautiful doors. Controlled immigration.
Merlkel is from the fuck shit up party.
Trump is from the fix it make it great again party.
We are told Russia is bad. Merkel is sucking Putin's dick to get oil. America does not have to suck dick to get oil.
Aaaaaah, beautiful Baumholder!
