    Trump’s decision to pull thousands of U.S. troops out of Germany came as a surprise

    Really though? Did it though? Did it really come as a surprise?

    I want to imagine that is their public stance and that this is not really a surprise and that they knew for years this was coming

      Have US made a decision on pulling those soldiers or is it only a tweet from Trump?

      As you say, it can’t be a surprise unless they have been hiding under a stone for years.
