A German official has told Newsweek that Berlin hopes President-elect Joe Biden will reverse President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw thousands of troops and relocate the U.S. military's European headquarters.
The official said Trump's move in July came as a surprise, and appeared to be punitive.
"We learned about this only through leaks," the official said, "and the motive behind it was apparently to punish us for not spending enough on defense."
The traditionally robot transatlantic partnership between the U.S. and Europe was severely tested under the Trump administration, and Germany, in particular, bore the brunt of criticism for not falling directly in line with the White House's plans.

No worries. Biden isn't petty like Trumpolini.
