Lieutenant General Christian Freuding fears the longstanding military partnership between the two allies is unravelling under President Trump’s administration

The Pentagon has “cut off contact” between American defence officials and their German counterparts, according to the head of Germany’s army.

The United States has traditionally treated Germany as one of its most important European allies. It is thought to have about 35,000 soldiers stationed at German bases such as Ramstein and Stuttgart, which serve as staging posts for American operations across Africa and the Middle East.

Since President Trump’s return to power in January, the relationship between the countries has become markedly cooler.

    Shut up, Germany. Stop pretending you’re important and take a shower…or we’ll take more of your land for breathing room.

    I mean, seriously, why would you want to talk to trump more?

      Because he agrees with whomever he spoke to last. If you talk to him more, he agrees with you more.
