Trump Announces Deployment of 5,000 More US Troops to Poland, Fueling NATO Uncertainty

US President Donald Trump said the US will send an extra 5,000 troops to Poland. This reverses recent orders to cut forces in Europe. Trump praised his relationship with Poland’s new leader as the reason. Officials remain unclear where the troops will come from or how overall numbers will change. Polish ministers said the move keeps US forces at roughly current levels. NATO officials called it a temporary step and urged stronger European defence commitments. Last week, the Pentagon halted planned deployments to Poland, Germany and other allies. Lawmakers criticised the decision for sidelining Congress and straining ties with US partners.
