Trump-Merz Feud Escalates, US Troops at Risk

0:00On May 1st, President Donald Trump is ramping up his feud with German Chancellor Friedrich Murz, calling him out for doing a terrible job running his country. The beef started over the Iran War, now two months in since February 28th. After Murz said Iran was humiliating the US and peace talks and slammed Washington for no clear exit plan. Trump hid back hard on Thursday from the Oval Office, ripping Murz for messing up energy and immigration at home, plus failing on Ukraine. He even posted on true social, telling Murz to fix his own broken nation and the Russia Ukraine mess instead of meddling in Iran's nuclear threat. Murz tried to dial it down Wednesday, saying their personal vibe is still solid and they're on good speaking terms. He pointed to the real pain in Germany from the straight of Hormuz shut down, with skyrocketing energy costs hitting Europe hard. Berlin backed the war at first, but now says it's not NATO's fight, and offers only limited help, like minesweepers after the shooting stops. Trump's upping the ante, threatening to pull back US troops from Germany, where over

1:0368,000 are stationed in Europe, as payback for weak. Support. He's eyeing cuts in Italy with more than 12,600 troops, and Spain's 3,802, calling them out for zero. Help. Meanwhile, US Central Command is prepping short, powerful strikes on Iran, maybe deploying rare, dark, eagle hypersonic missiles for the first time to. Hit deep targets. Iran's revolutionary guards warn any attack means long, painful hits on US bases and ships, keeping this powder keg ready to blow.
