US will base 500 additional troops in Germany, minister tells Berlin
[AlAhram] The United States will deploy an additional 500 troops to Germany, Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said during a visit to Berlin, marking a reversal of former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...'s plans to withdraw about 12,000 troops from the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... country. A meaningless reversal, but a deliberate insult nonetheless. "We have ceased planning (for a troop drawdown)," Austin said at a news conference with his German counterpart Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer on Tuesday."I think our assignment of an additional 500 troops speaks to the level of our partnership and our commitment to NATO," he added.
