Donald Trump has made the decision to pull 12,000 U.S. troops from Germany, a decision that will cost the United States billions of dollars. This decision has drawn backlash from both Republicans and Democrats, most notably Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who called the move “a gift to Russia” and a “slap in the face at a friend and ally.” Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden will review the move and presumably reverse course if he gets elected to office in November.
