      “5,000 American soldiers are to be moved from Germany within the next year, according to the Pentagon via Reuters.

      This announcement comes shortly after Donald Trump, following the dispute with Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, threatened to reduce the military presence in the country.

      The news agency writes that the decision to move soldiers appears as a statement from the American side against Merz’s claim that the US is humiliated by Iran in the peace negotiations.

      Sources tell CBS News that the decision was made because Donald Trump is dissatisfied with how allied countries have related to the US war with Iran.”

      “The US Department of Defense was completely unprepared for Donald Trump’s threat to move soldiers from Germany, and they were forced to quickly try to find out if the president was serious. Sources in the Pentagon tell Politico.

      – (The Pentagon) did not expect this and has not planned any form of relocation, says a source and adds:

      – But we have to take him seriously, because he was serious about it during his first term.

      In July 2020, Trump ordered the relocation of 12,000 soldiers from Germany, but it was never carried out.

      The new threat comes in the wake of a dispute with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has criticized the US war effort in Iran.”

    Off-Topic, The Iran War

    “No other president has had to ask Congress for approval to wage war for more than 60 days, Donald Trump claimed once again late on Friday evening.

    BBC, which has gone to the historical archives and checked, writes that the situation regarding the War Powers Resolution law is a bit more complicated than that.

    George W. Bush, for example, sought and received Congress’s approval for his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Barack Obama, on the other hand, claimed that it did not constitute a war when a coalition of NATO countries entered Libya in 2011. Therefore, he never asked for permission, even though the fighting lasted for seven months.

    David Schultz, professor of political science and law at Hamline University in Minnesota, notes that presidents have viewed the need for approval differently.

    – But that does not mean that what Trump is doing is right and proper.”

    “The American president Donald Trump claims that the war against Iran is over, several media outlets report. In a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the acting chairman of the Senate, Trump writes that ‘hostilities that began on February 28 have ended,’ since no shooting has taken place since April 7 when a ceasefire came into effect.

    Since Trump did not seek Congress’s support before the attacks against Iran began, the operation according to the law should not have lasted longer than 60 days. But according to Trump’s reasoning, that time limit no longer applies if the war is already considered over.

    Previously, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reasoned in the same way, but the reasoning has been criticized by Democrats and interest organizations who argue that a ceasefire does not mean that the 60-day period is paused or reset.

    Trump announced on Friday that he had no intention of asking Congress for permission to continue the war, something that would have been necessary according to the War Powers Act.

    – No one has ever asked before […]. Why would we be different? Trump said according to The Guardian.”

      “Iran has submitted a new proposal for peace talks to the USA, reports Reuters citing the state news agency Irna. The proposal was handed over on Thursday evening to Pakistan, which acts as a mediator between the countries.

      What the proposal entails is not clear from IRNA’s reporting.

      The USA and Iran have been at war since the USA and Israel attacked on February 28. Currently, there is a shaky ceasefire, but negotiations for a more lasting peace have been slow.”

      “Iran’s latest peace proposal is a small step closer to the USA’s demands, sources tell the Wall Street Journal. According to the newspaper’s information, Iran is ready to discuss the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz if the USA simultaneously guarantees that the attacks will cease and the blockade against Iranian ports will end.

      Previously, Iran demanded that the blockade be lifted for the country to even consider negotiating. USA President Donald Trump has not yet commented on the direct content but makes it clear that he demands more.

      – I am not satisfied with it, so we’ll see what happens, he says according to AP.”

      “Donald Trump is not satisfied with Iran’s latest negotiation proposal, the president states at a press conference during the night before Saturday.

      According to the president, Iran wants to make a deal but is struggling to agree internally. The USA, for its part, is considering new powerful attacks, the president says according to PBS.

      – Do we want to go in and just blow the hell out of them or do we want to try to reach a deal? Those are the options.

      A ceasefire has been in place between the USA and Iran since April 7. Negotiations for a more lasting peace have been slow, and Donald Trump says during Saturday’s press conference that he is not interested in an “early” end to the war.”

    Off-Topic, EU and USA

    “Donald Trump threatens the EU with 25 percent tariffs on cars and trucks imported into the USA. In a post on his own platform Truth Social, he writes that such tariffs will be introduced next week because the EU, according to the American president, does not follow their ‘fully agreed trade agreement.’

    ‘It is fully understood and agreed that if they produce cars and trucks in factories in the USA, there will be no tariffs,’ he writes.

    Trump gives no further details on how he believes the EU has violated the agreement that was concluded in July last year.”

    “Member of the European Parliament Bernd Lange strikes back at Donald Trump after the statement about raising vehicle tariffs against the union to 25 percent, reports Reuters.

    – President Trump’s behavior is unacceptable, says Lange, who is chairman of the EU Parliament’s trade committee, to the news agency.

    Trump’s latest statement ‘demonstrates exactly how unreliable’ the American side is, he adds, pointing to the Greenland conflict as another example.” https://omni.se/eu-toppen-om-utspelet-trumps-beteende-ar-oacceptabelt/a/3pBbJ9

     

     

    “Donald Trump’s latest threats against Europe and public criticisms of European leaders are ‘to say the least worrying,’ according to a Western diplomat Reuters has spoken to. The same source states that they are prepared for ‘anything, anytime’ from the American president.

    Another diplomat says that Germany’s former Chancellor Angela Merkel showed how best to handle Trump. It is about reacting only after the worst storm has passed, without backing down from one’s positions. Even those who over the years have flattered Trump have been subjected to ridicule, says the diplomat.

    – Now everyone realizes that flattery doesn’t work either.

    Just in the past few days, Trump has called Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz ineffective and threatened to move American soldiers out of several allied countries. As recently as Friday evening, he stated that the EU can expect increased car and truck tariffs starting next week.” https://omni.se/oro-i-europa-nu-inser-alla-att-smicker-inte-fungerar/a/BxrKGG

    Off-Topic, cultural news

    Jojje passed away yesterday.

    “Georg ‘Jojje’ Wadenius was a musician until the very end. Despite his 80 years, a concert scheduled for tomorrow needs to be canceled due to his passing. On the culture pages, writers are pondering how to fit such a wide and extensive career as Jojje’s into a mere column.

    ‘It was skillful, versatile, curious, and friendly musicianship for both young and old that made the nickname Jojje immortal,’ writes Dan Backman in SvD.

    In Expressen, Gunilla Brodrej recalls the great respect he had for children, and how you could really feel how much he cared. Besides being a successful studio musician who played with real greats, she writes, he was a mediator of the tender seriousness that characterizes the Swedish children’s song.

    ‘Perhaps it is precisely in this music, in the meeting between play and seriousness, that we can best understand both ourselves and our children.’

    He was a skilled musician. By chance, tonight at 20:15 on TV 2 there is a documentary program about the history of the Swedish ballad. Many (including foreign) experts claim that the Swedish “music miracle” comes from the rich Swedish ballad tradition.

    Saab is approaching one of its biggest deals ever, reports SVT Nyheter. Within a couple of months, a sale of up to 150 Gripen aircraft to Ukraine could be finalized, says CEO Micael Johansson.
    – This normally takes a few months, I hope it will be during this year, Johansson says without going into details about the potential value of the deal.
    For comparison, Saab sold 17 Gripen aircraft to Colombia in November last year in a deal worth 34 billion kronor.

    Increasingly convinced, Johan has forgotten his password. Usually not necessary, but sometimes the login is cleared. Could it be yesterday’s escapades that are causing him trouble?
