Studie undersøger økonomiske konsekvenser af amerikansk tilbagetrækning af tropper fra Tyskland

Økonomer har analyseret effekterne af at trække omkring 5000 amerikanske soldater ud af Tyskland. Studiet viser betydelige konsekvenser for de berørte regioner.

Den amerikanske forsvarsminister Pete Hegseth annoncerede tilbagetrækningsplanen i begyndelsen af maj. Tilbagetrækningen skal være gennemført inden for seks til tolv måneder.

Et studie fra universitetet i Köln og ZEW Mannheim har undersøgt de økonomiske effekter. Resultaterne er tilgængelige for Handelsblatt.

Studiets forfatter Johannes Kochems udtaler: “En amerikansk tilbagetrækning af tropper er ikke kun en sikkerhedspolitisk proces. Det er også et lokalt økonomisk chok.”

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.
