The United States will withdraw nearly twelve thousand troops from Germany. Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced the move as part of a redeployment of forces in Europe he said was aimed at strengthening NATO. President Donald Trump had said previously he intended to take troops out of Germany, after accusing the government here of being 'delinquent' in defense spending.
However one chooses to look at this policy announced by Donald Trump one has to ask realistically; What Vladimir Putin knows about Donald Trumps businesses and private life? Is America really withdrawing its forces because Germany hasn't fully funded its participation in NATO or is it because Russia views the continued presence of those forces in Germany as a threat?
