Trump Pulling Troops from Germany: A 30-Year Veteran’s Analysis

Is President Trump’s plan to withdraw US troops from Germany a brilliant strategy or a historic mistake? As a 30 Year Veteran living in Germany, I’m looking at both sides of the troop withdrawal and the impact on Germany. President Trump's proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany marks a significant shift in international relations. This breaking news comes as many Germans now view the United States as a major threat to world peace, impacting the future of the US military presence. This change in sentiment challenges the historical role of NATO and the post-cold war alliance. For decades, the US military presence symbolized stability, but a recent poll reveals a majority of Germans now view the United States differently. This video explores the implications of this foreign policy change and the evolving perception of the US in Germany. This video also explores the implications of Donald Trump's stance on Trump Germany and its impact on the long-standing partnership.

Victor Davis Hanson: Charlie Kirk’s Fight to Rescue a Generation From University Indoctrination

Universities have long been captured by liberal academics, and the fight for America's youth on campus at times feels hopeless. What made Charlie Kirk effective was that he did not run from that problem but ran head-on into it. Victor Davis Hanson explains this key aspect of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, emphasizing how his approach was effective, and what our job is now to carry on his mission in saving our country from the campus on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He did not go in the traditional academic pathway. He dropped out of college at 18. And he had to live by his wits, not in the artificial bubble of academia or the la-la land of the campus, where there are no consequences to behavior. … He learned to organize and galvanize people in a practical way. “And he said, ‘The universities are training generation after generation after generation in this seriously dangerous leftist dogma.’ In other words, if you're worried about this bizarre transgender movement, this cult-like effort to have biological men compete in women's sports, to take one example; or you're worried about the idea that you can steal $950 and not be prosecuted; or if you think that race is essential and not incidental to who you are—where did these things come from? And he said they came from the campus.”

Border czar Tom Homan stated on Wednesday that he has been living away from his wife following numerous death threats related to his work on mass deportations.

Homan spoke about the difficulty of having to live away from his wife due to security concerns during an interview with the New York Post‘s Miranda Devine.

“My wife’s living separately from me right now, mainly because I worked for many hours, but mostly because of the death threats against me,” Homan stated. “She’s someplace else. I see her as much as I can, but the death threats against me and my family are outrageous.”

“I spent a lot of time with my boys growing up, but as I got more and more – climbed the ladder of what I’ve done with ICE director and now back – I don’t see my family very much,” he continued.

At one point in the interview, Homan recounted the moment he received a phone call from President Donald Trump to return to work with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency after previously serving in the first Trump administration.

“I was the first person he called, bringing me back, which again, was a proud moment. But I was out to dinner with my wife, and then my phone rang, and I looked down, and it said, ‘POTUS.’ And my wife said, ‘He’s asking [you} to come back isn’t he?’”

“So I walked outside and the first thing he said to me was, ‘You’ve been b****ing about it for four years. Well, come back and fix it.’ So how do you say no?” Homan added.

Meanwhile, recent data coming out of the southern border showcases record low numbers as the Trump administration has emphasized securing the U.S. border following the relaxed border policies of the previous administration.

There were 5,414 apprehensions at the border between June 1st and June 22nd, along with 986 “gotaways,” which represents the lowest number ever recorded.

Tariffs Could Still Go Up From Here: Commerce Secretary Lutnick

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said foreign nations will need to address a host of regulatory and other policies limiting imports of American products in order to secure relief from President Donald Trump’s new reciprocal levies. “These non-tariff trade barriers, they are the monster that needs to be slayed,” Lutnick said in an interview on Bloomberg Television and Radio. “Our teams are talking to all our great trading partners today,” he said. “It is time for them to do some deep soul searching on how they treat us poorly and how to make it right.” Offering specific examples of non-tariff barriers, the Commerce chief said that in the European Union some countries use the region’s 20% value-added tax to subsidize their own manufacturers’ production. Economists at the Council of Economic Advisers and staff at the U.S. Trade Representative’s office have pored over foreign nations’ trade barriers for decades, and that analysis formed the basis for the levies Trump announced Wednesday, Lutnick said. He also offered the example of a 2012 trade deal with South Korea, which involved the US letting Korean cars into its market, with Seoul agreeing to import American agricultural products. Nevertheless, McDonald’s Corp. was unable to bring in french fries because it was deemed to have shown the origin of the potatoes, he said. “You don’t understand the scale and depth of how they keep our products out,” Lutnick said. Asked about the sell-off in equities since Trump unveiled the reciprocal tariffs Wednesday afternoon, Lutnick said the president’s focus is on addressing “the economic pain that the United States of America suffered over decades.” S&P 500 futures were down 3.6% as of 8:52 a.m. in New York, while the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 1.8% — to the lowest level since October. The Commerce chief also confirmed that the new 34% surtax on China stacks on top of previous levies, including the 20% Trump imposed earlier this year over alleged Chinese production of precursors for illegal fentanyl. “All they have to have is a phone call from President Xi to Trump saying we’re going to stop fentanyl production,” Lutnick said, putting the onus on President Xi Jinping. “And it would drop to 20%,” he said of the tariff rate.

Arkansas: Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders Unveils Bill To Block China From Doing Business In And With The State

Arkansas’ Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders unveiled a set of measures on Wednesday aimed at preventing China from conducting business in and with the state.

The law was dubbed the “Communist China Defense Legislative Package” by the governor. The governor claimed that the six legislation in the package, some of which have already been introduced and others that are still pending, target “Communist China influence” in the state.

Sanders stated that 80% of the state’s foreign intelligence cases are based on CCP actions, citing the 60 CCP foreign intelligence investigations conducted in the United States in 2024.

Existing laws will be strengthened by the measures, which will prohibit the CCP from lobbying, lower the time limit for selling a prohibited land holding, and prohibit any Arkansas municipality from having a sister city in China.

“The governor said that any college or university with a Confucius Institute would not receive any state funding, stating that China often uses such institutions to establish intelligence operations,” according to NBC affiliate KARK – Little Rock.

On U.S. college campuses, Confucius Institutes provide courses in Chinese language and culture. Researchers and others have expressed worries about undue influence and other issues since the People’s Republic of China government partners with the schools and partially funds the institutes.
