WASHINGTON, May 22 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States (US) will deploy an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
“Based on the successful election of the now president of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, whom I was proud to endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 troops to Poland,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Trump did not provide details on the timing of the deployment.
His remarks came after Under Secretary of Defence Elbridge Colby had a “very productive” meeting with Polish Secretary of State Pawel Zalewski early Thursday.
“I re-emphasised our message that the US is driving real burden-sharing for a European-led conventional defence, a message we will be continuing to share with allies in the coming weeks. In this context, Poland stands out as a model ally and a leader among our allies,” said Colby.
