Tyskland køber Tomahawk-missiler fra USA

Forbundskansler Friedrich Merz meddelte torsdag, at forhandlingerne med USA's præsident Donald Trump om køb af Tomahawk-krydsermissiler er afsluttet med succes.

Merz udtalte sig positivt om NATO-topmødet i Ankara under sin regeringserklæring. På trods af uenigheder med Trump angående Grønland og Spanien overgik mødet hans forventninger. Bundeswehr får gennem købet evnen til præcist at ramme mål tusindvis af kilometer bag fjendens linjer. De fleste europæiske NATO-partnere har indtil nu manglet denne kapacitet. Anskaffelsen er et modsvar til russiske missiler i Kaliningrad og Hviderusland. Købet forbliver kontroversielt i Tyskland.

President Donald Trump, via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany due to European allies' insufficient support for U.S. operations against Iran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced the move follows a force posture review and will occur over six to twelve months, primarily affecting a brigade combat team and halting a planned long-range fires battalion deployment. The decision fulfills prior threats and escalates tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the ongoing conflict.
