Update/correction: Merz said exchange of words with Trump not reason for American withdrawal
There is no connection between the withdrawal of 5,000 American troops from Germany and the public exchange of words between US President Trump and German Chancellor Merz. Merz stated this in an interview with the German broadcaster ARD.
thats just 13% of the total force stationed in germany. He wont give up Rammstein, the Pentagon would litterly shoot him if he tried, as this is the place they command/control their drones etc. for the middle east.
I am still have not given hope, that one day Germany will just threaten the US to close Ramstein or actually will do it. If the troll in the white house keeps threatening us.
