"Mein transatlantisches Herz blutet", sagte der Transatlantik-Koordinator der Bundesregierung, Peter Beyer, der Düsseldorfer "Rheinischen Post". Damit werde von US-Präsident Donald Trump die Schwächung des Westens vorangetrieben.
Grundpfeiler transatlantischer Überzeugungen, Werte und Sicherheitsarchitektur würden ins Wanken gebracht. "Das ist völlig inakzeptabel, insbesondere, weil niemand in Washington es für nötig befunden hatte, zuvor den Nato-Partner Deutschland zu informieren", unterstrich der CDU-Politiker. pm, ots

Reports of a withdrawal of large parts of US soldiers from Germany are causing annoyance in the governing coalition: "My transatlantic heart is bleeding", the German government's transatlantic coordinator, Peter Beyer, told the Düsseldorf-based "Rheinische Post" newspaper. This, he said, was a way for US President Donald Trump to promote the weakening of the West.
He said that the cornerstones of transatlantic convictions, values and security architecture were being shaken. "This is completely unacceptable, especially because no one in Washington had found it necessary to inform NATO partner Germany beforehand," the CDU politician stressed.
