Germany's new coalition government put the finishing touches to its policy program this weekend, promising moderate tax cuts to help support the economy, a reduction in the length of compulsory military service, and the continued operation of the nation's aging nuclear power plants. No big surprises there. But one detail could have interesting international repercussions: the man designated to be foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, is pushing for the U.S. to remove its remaining nuclear weapons from German soil.

  • German Chancellor Angela Merkel stand with members of the new ruling coalition, German Free Democratic Party chairman Guido Westerwelle, right, and Bavaria's Christian Social Union chairman Horst Seehofer.
