NATO's future
Sources: Pentagon caught off guard by Germany threat
The US Department of Defense was completely unprepared for Donald Trump's threat to move troops from Germany, and they were forced to quickly try to find out if the president was serious. This is what Pentagon sources told Politico.
– (The Pentagon) did not expect it and has not planned any kind of move, says one source, adding:
– But we have to take him seriously, because he was serious about it during his first term.
In July 2020, Trump ordered a move of 12,000 troops from Germany, but it was never carried out.
The new threat comes in the wake of a row with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has criticized the US war effort in Iran.
Trump weighs troop withdrawals from Italy and Spain
After threatening to move US troops from Germany, Donald Trump is now adding Italy and Spain to the same list, writes AFP.
- Yes, maybe. I probably will. Why not? Italy has not helped us at all and Spain has behaved terribly, he tells reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump has been deeply critical of NATO countries that he does not believe have helped the US enough in the war against Iran. Spanish Prime Minister Pédro Sanchez is the EU leader who has criticized the war the most sharply.
The US has over 12,000 soldiers in Italy and almost 4,000 in Spain. In Germany, they are significantly more, over 36,000.
Trump: Merz is ineffective - should not interfere
Donald Trump takes another swipe at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a Truth Social post.
“The German Chancellor should spend more time resolving the war between Russia and Ukraine (where he has been completely ineffective!), and fixing his broken country, especially migration and energy, and less time standing in the way of those who eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat,” the president wrote.
Trump has been furious after Merz criticized the US war effort in Iran. Yesterday, he wrote that he is considering moving US troops
