Polish president highlights US military presence as key achievement

Polish President Andrzej Duda has described the deployment of the American military contingent in Poland as the most significant accomplishment of his presidency.

Speaking to Polish media and reported by Interfax, Duda emphasised the strategic importance of NATO forces stationed on Poland’s eastern flank, particularly under the leadership and patronage of the United States, Caliber.z reports, citing Russian media.

“I believe that the most important decision during my presidency was the decision to deploy NATO troops in Poland, on NATO’s eastern flank, under the patronage of the United States, which still serves as the framework nation for this presence, and, of course, directly the US Army,” Duda stated.

He recalled the substantial growth in US military presence over recent years, noting, “I would like to remind you that in 2015 we practically had no American soldiers in Poland, and today there are 10,000 of them.”
