Green Party presses Scholz for united European response to U.S. troop withdrawal
The Green Party has urged Chancellor Olaf Scholz to work with European allies following the U.S. decision to withdraw troops from Germany. Defense policy spokesperson Sara Nanni stressed the need for a united response and clearer coordination across the continent. Nanni called for a joint European strategy in reaction to the U.S. announcement. She argued that a change in direction remains possible, but only if allies act together. Her comments came after criticism of Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s inconsistent stance towards the U.S. president.
Nanni also highlighted the importance of Europe demonstrating its role in supporting American interests. She suggested that Scholz should engage with partners to assess how the U.S. depends on its allies in key areas. The Green Party’s push for a coordinated response comes as the U.S. reduces its military presence in Germany. Nanni’s remarks underline the need for Europe to present a unified position. The next steps will depend on Scholz’s discussions with other European leaders.
