A senior Polish aide says U.S. troop confusion stemmed from “chaotic communication” in Washington, but Trump’s pledge to send 5,000 more troops to Poland underscores a continuing — and possibly permanent — U.S. presence. The move follows earlier Pentagon shifts and congressional pressure, with Polish authorities highlighting heavy defense spending and a push to convert rotational deployments into permanent ones within the NATO framework.
