Poland braces for security shake as Pentagon scrubs 4,000-troop plan
Poland was blindsided when the Pentagon canceled the planned deployment of about 4,000 U.S. troops, prompting Warsaw to insist the alliance remains durable and that U.S. commitments to European security endure, even as officials acknowledge the move creates uncertainty. Poland hopes some troops withdrawn from Germany might relocate to Europe, but it remains unclear where they will go or when; domestically, the country is divided, yet leaders stress there is no crisis and aim to deepen U.S. forces in Poland while monitoring broader NATO security dynamics and Russia risks.
