Trump Will Deploy 5,000 US Troops to Poland in Abrupt U-Turn

Trump, in a Truth Social post, cited his relationship with Poland's conservative nationalist president, Karol Nawrocki, as the reason behind his decision to send additional troops.

The remarks came one week after the Pentagon abruptly delayed a planned deployment of more than 4,000 U.S.-based troops to Poland, where Nawrocki was elected president last year.

The decision signals a potential shift in U.S. force posture in Europe at a time of heightened tensions and uncertainty over Washington’s commitment to NATO.
