The dpa news agency reported Tuesday that Social Democrat Martin Schulz also told supporters in the city of Trier on Tuesday that a government led by him would seek to limit Germany’s own military expenditures.
The news agency quoted Schulz saying: “As chancellor, I will work to ensure that the nuclear weapons stationed in Germany … are removed.”
US President Donald Trump has pressured Germany and other NATO partners to spend more on defense.
But Schulz said: “It can’t be that Germany, without comment and without action, continues to take part in an armament spiral as wanted by Trump.”
Merkel’s bloc currently enjoys a 15 percent lead over Schulz’s party.
Does this idiot not realize our nuclear weapons is what is keeping his country safe?
