Interview with Dr. Henning Riecke

What experiences do the Germans have with the deployment of US forces on their territory? Dr. Henning Riecke commented on this question in the public network's news magazine of the Czech Republic, where a contract on a US radar installation will be signed these days. Riecke saw the US deployment in Germany as an expression of jointness in security policy in the Northatlantic Alliance. The US forces are also a an important factor for the regional economy, although the Federal Gortvenmnent has to carry some costs for maintenance and damage management. The announced withdrawal of US-troops will go ahaead slower and on a smaller scale, but will lead to a concentration on fewer US bases. Questions regarding the safety and the future of US nuclear weapons in Germany, says Riecke, should be debated in the NATO framework.
