Germany to send back US nuclear weapons
Incoming German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has said Berlin will seek the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons based in Germany in support of Washington's fervor for a world free of nuclear arms. "We will take President Obama at his word and enter talks with our allies so that the last of the nuclear weapons still stationed in Germany, relics of the Cold War, can finally be removed," Deutsche Welle (DW) network quoted Westerwelle as saying. Westerwelle made the comments Sunday at a meeting of his business-friendly FDP party — which became a partner of reelected Chancellor Angela Merkel's new coalition government after reaching an agreement with Merkel's Conservatives.
"Germany must be free of nuclear weapons," he said, adding that he would personally make efforts towards that purpose.
