Latvia and Lithuania Say They’d Welcome More US Troops

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania said their countries would be ready to host more US soldiers after the administration of President Donald Trump announced it will withdraw thousands of troops from Germany.

“We are having a number of conversations with American allies, and they also say we are a model ally,” Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Brussels on Monday. “So we would very much welcome that development.”
