Democrats demand answers over treatment of wounded US troops

The unit had asked for more medical staff and supplies before the strike and been turned down, according to reporting by the Washington Post and CBS News cited in the letter. There was no doctor on site afterward, no fixed aid station, and only one ambulance, with some of the wounded driving themselves to a hospital in Kuwait City, according to the reports. It took nine days before roughly two dozen soldiers, some still unscreened for brain injuries, were flown to the US military hospital at Landstuhl in Germany. 

“Doctors told them that because they hadn’t been recorded as medical evacuees on the flight’s manifest or as seriously injured in [the defense department’s] casualty-processing database, they could only get limited treatment and had to wait in nearby barracks because the hospital was unable to admit them,” the letter states…

Trump’s call to reduce US troops in Germany shocks Pentagon - POLITICO

While previous threats from Trump have not come to fruition, he’s ratcheted up his anti-European rhetoric in his second term, from threatening to pull out of NATO due to allies’ failure to join the Iran war to warning he might seize Greenland. 

Trump’s latest threat to the transatlantic alliance comes just days after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by Iran at the negotiating table. Trump continued to launch broadsides against the German leader on Thursday, calling for Merz to “spend more time” on ending Russia’s war with Ukraine and solving European energy and immigration problems “and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat.”…

Britain to offer troops to defend Ukraine’s skies and ports in Pentagon talks

Wednesday's planning sessions at the Pentagon are being closely watched for any signs of what the US would be willing to commit. Trump insisted on Tuesday they would not involve American troops on the ground, telling Fox News: "You have my assurance [on that], and I'm president."

But Britain is also planning to use the meetings to spell out to the Trump administration what it is willing to do to protect Ukraine should a peace deal be signed. Officials say British forces could be deployed to help with logistics in protecting Ukrainian airspace and ports, but not into situations that could risk combat with Russia...
