US EditionAfD Demands Swift Withdrawal of US Troops From Germany
AfD leader Tino Chrupalla urged Berlin to reject U.S. military use of German bases, citing Spain's example and opposing involvement in foreign conflicts including the Iran war.
- On Saturday, Alternative for Germany co-leader Tino Chrupalla urged the removal of roughly 37,000 U.S. troops from Germany, calling on Berlin to deny the use of German bases for U.S. military operations in the Iran conflict.
- Chrupalla cited Spain's decision to block U.S. military planes as a model for Germany's non-interventionist foreign policy, arguing that Berlin should avoid involvement in foreign conflicts and criticizing the use of German soil for Iran operations.
- Germany currently hosts around 38,000 U.S. troops, including approximately 9,000 soldiers at Ramstein Air Base; while the AfD leader's demands received loud applause at the Saxony gathering, the party is not in government and holds no power to enact these changes.
- Recent polling shows the AfD tied with the Christian Democrats at 26 percent, signaling rising electoral strength, while President Donald Trump has increasingly criticized NATO members, labeling the refusal to assist in opening the Strait of Hormuz a loyalty test.
- Aiming for federal governance by 2029, the AfD is establishing structures to reshape foreign policy, including withdrawal of U.S. nuclear weapons; this push for independence reflects broader distancing from the U.S. administration among some right-wing European leaders.
