President Trump's decision to pull nearly 12,000 US troops from Germany triggered an onslaught of disapproval from Republicans, Democrats and former senior military officials
Trump's explanation to reporters about the withdrawal, announced Wednesday morning by Defense Secretary Mark Esper, misrepresented how NATO works and contradicted his own military officials, raising questions about what strategy -- if any -- drove the decision. Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah described Trump's move as"a gift to Russia" and a"slap in the face at a friend and ally.
Italy and BelgiumThe President of one of those countries, Lithuania, posted on Twitter,"We are ready to accept more US troops."But the vast majority of the troops permanently remaining in Europe will instead be relocated to Italy or Belgium, not posted in countries most concerned about the Russian threat."There are or may be other opportunities as well to move additional forces into Poland and the Baltics," Esper said, without offering much in the way of specifics.
