Trump droht mit dem Truppenabzug aus Deutschland

**From The Telegraph:**

Donald Trump is considering pulling American troops out of Germany amid a war of words with Friedrich Merz.

The US president, angered by the German chancellor’s claim that the US had been “humiliated” by Iran, may redeploy forces to eastern Europe or Greenland, according to an insider.

“The United States is studying and reviewing the possible reduction of troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time,” Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday.

A source told The Telegraph that the president could send the soldiers to Poland, Romania, the Middle East, or Greenland instead.

Concentrating American forces in Greenland would be sure to cause alarm in Europe, after Mr Trump repeatedly suggested he could annex the island, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, in January.

On Monday, Mr Merz told students in Germany that the American delegation, which included JD Vance had been embarrassed when they left peace talks in Islamabad without a deal on April 12.
