Photo by Luis Viegas/U.S. ArmyConservative German and American leaders have criticized President 's proposed plan to remove about one-third of U.S. troops currently stationed in Germany.On Friday quoting an anonymous senior defense official that Trump has ordered the Pentagon to withdraw 9,500 of the 34,500 troops permanently assigned to Germany as part of a longstanding arrangement between the two countries.Advertisement, left-leaning politicians welcomed the proposed drawdown while conservative leaders described it as a wake-up call."The federal government should accept it with gratitude and promptly start preparing the complete withdrawal of US soldiers with the Trump administration," said Dietmar Bartsch, leader of the parliamentary group of the leftwing party Die Linke."It would have the collateral benefit of saving taxpayers billions, because there would not longer be a need to acquire new fighter jets."Johann Wadephul, the deputy chair of the parliamentary group of 's Christian Democratic Union, said the Trump administration is neglecting "an elementary task of leadership.""Everyone profits from the alliance sticking together, only Russia and China profit from discord. Washington should pay more attention to that."AdvertisementThe plan has also met with domestic criticism."This is a dangerously misguided policy. If the United States abandons allies, withdraws our forces, and retreats within our borders, the cause of freedom-on which our nation was founded &amp; our security depends-will be in peril," Rep.
