GOP Lawmakers Urge Against Pulling Troops

“Another group of House Republicans is urging President Trump against drawing down the number of US troops in Germany, a request that comes one day after White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien penned an op-ed explaining the administration’s reasoning for the reduction of American forces in the country,” CNN reports.

“The latest group of Republican lawmakers — led by Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran — argue that reducing the number of US troops in Germany will negatively impact the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s ability to deter Russian aggression.”
