Poland gets clarity as US reaffirms long-term troop deployment

The United States has formally assured Poland that it has no plans to withdraw its military contingent from Polish territory, Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki stated.

Speaking in an interview with TVP Info, Bosacki confirmed that Washington has delivered an official document affirming its commitment both to the Polish government and to the president’s office.

The communication, he noted, was intended to dispel any doubts regarding the continuity of US military presence in the country.

Bosacki emphasized that Poland seeks firm guarantees amid concerns that potential divergences in policy between European and US leaders could undermine the security of the European continent. He stressed that maintaining strategic alignment with the United States remains essential for Poland’s national and regional security.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has raised concerns that he will seek to move some American troops out of Europe. However, following a meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki this September, Trump said that those in Poland would remain, and may even be reinforced.
