The recent announcement by former US President Donald Trump regarding the deployment of an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, directly linked to the election victory of President Karol Nawrocki, has been met with significant appreciation from Polish leadership. This move is seen as a strong affirmation of the robust Polish-American alliance and Poland's role as a key NATO ally. While the Pentagon has indicated a broader reduction in troop rotations in Europe, Trump's specific commitment to bolstering Poland's defense underscores the strategic importance of our region in the current geopolitical climate.

In connection with the successful election, in which the current President of Poland Karol Nawrocki โ€“ whom I proudly supported โ€“ won, and considering our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will send an additional 5,000 soldiers to Poland.

President Nawrocki and Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz have both publicly expressed their gratitude, highlighting the practical implications of this decision for Poland's security. This reinforces the narrative that Poland is a reliable and steadfast partner for the United States. The timing of this announcement, following discussions between Polish defense officials and their US counterparts, suggests a coordinated effort to ensure regional stability.

Thank you to the President of the United States Donald Trump for his friendship towards Poland and for the decisions whose practical dimension we see very clearly today.

From a Polish perspective, this development is particularly noteworthy. It signals a continued US commitment to European security, with Poland serving as a crucial frontline state. The deployment, regardless of whether it is permanent or rotational, is interpreted as a tangible sign of American support, especially in light of ongoing security concerns in Eastern Europe. This contrasts with potential Western media narratives that might focus on the broader troop reduction plans, overlooking the specific reinforcement for Poland.

President D. Trump's decision to send 5,000 additional soldiers to Poland confirms that Polish-American relations are very strong, and Poland is a model and iron ally.
