numbers closely hoping his family and neighbors remain. free katrina al-jazeera painting president donald trump has confirmed that he's ordering a significant reduction in the number of u.s. troops stationed in germany he says the total will come down to around $25000.00 soldiers the u.s. currently has around 34 and a half 1000 trump accuses his nato ally of being delinquent in paying for its own defense and in its contributions to nato sponsors germany as you know is very delinquent in their. payments to nato. paying one percent in this supposed to be a 2 percent and the 2 percent is very low it should be much more than that so they're delinquent of billions of dollars and this is 3 years delinquent so we're removing. a number down to we're putting the number down 225000 soldiers we'll see what happens boxer makowski is

a nonresident fellow at the atlantic council he's also served as an official at the u.s. department of defense he says that trump is using the troop reduction as a way to apply political pressure. this comes directly after reportedly chancellor merkel among others were resistant to coming to the united states for a g. 7 summit i think the president was very angry with the chancellor personally over that and it of course comes over frustration that the president has had of germany's inability to meet the 2 percent percent threshold that all allies are committed to in the will summit several years ago so i would not say germany is the link which they don't owe the united states money they don't own nato money they're paying their nato dues but from the president's perception is that because germany's unable to meet the 2 percent threshold even though it has been rising in its commitment that he has the ability which he does to punish germany fire the u.s. forces and again those forces 'd are not there to protect germany those forces are
3:07 am
there to protect all the you know. countries as well as to protect u.s. interests and frankly it's being done you know laterally and it's a gift to president putin which again i think reinforces 'd why this president has such a strange relationship with russia and he's now essentially given russia a gift by removing u.s. forces without getting anything in return. the u.s. president says that he will sign an executive order on police reform on tuesday donald trump has hailed us law enforcement as being made up of quote mostly great people trump says his executive order will ensure the police reform is done fairly justly and safely it follows mass protests following the death of george floyd in police custody in minnesota earlier police unions in the state of california said that sweeping reforms were needed to root out racist offices and lessen the use of lethal force union members say they like protesters have an obligation to demand change los angeles mayor has already said that he'll slash $150000000.00 from the

3:10 am
practices so far from cutting off funding or some mayors have done as you heard there will be a financial incentive to police departments that improve their standards another issue that the president is reportedly going to be looking at is prioritizing corespondent services now this essentially would mean embedding social workers with police units when they respond to calls of a nonviolent nature getting social workers right on the front lines with police to work together so these are some of the elements that the president is considering clearly there is no punitive measure here and another statement that the senior administration officials spoke about as well is improving the reporting to tease between police departments in order to highlight those police officers who do have a bad record in terms of their activities so all of these together would appear on the face of it to be something more like suggestions. what must go forward
3:11 am
president trump stressing that he has been consulting very closely with law enforcement officials and any order that he signs will be done with the knowledge and the input of those law enforcement officials and what's happening in the u.s. congress mike well this is the other element to it it would appear that president trump is outlining this very broad order but he is going to stress as well that it's actually up to congress to write legislation or to come up with concrete proposals in terms of improving police standards and reducing the level of violence now the democrats in the house have already brought together a sweeping bill governing police behavior a number of elements to that particular bill among them for example banning the use of chokeholds reducing the level of qualified immunity now this is a very controversial point in terms of which government officers doing their jobs
3:12 am
have a certain degree of liability from criminal prosecution as for the consequences of their actions now it's a little bit different in the senate the republicans in the senate are also drawing up a bill which they going to release in the next few days there is no suggestion whatsoever of touching the qualified immunity clause there is however ongoing discussion about something like chokehold for example republican saying that they hope to negotiate with the democrats in the house and come out with a completely bipartisan bill that will pass both the house and the senate very clearly president wants congress to do most of the heavy lifting on this he's likely to come up with broad guidelines suggestions but it will be up to congress both senate and republican both the senate and the house to come with concrete proposals for legislation that would enforce some improvement in the policing
