Poland ready to host US troops pulled from Germany, president says
President Karol Nawrocki said Poland has infrastructure ready as talks with Washington continue over expanding the U.S. military presence by 5,000 troops.
- On Wednesday, Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced Poland is ready to host the 5,000 U.S. troops the Pentagon plans to withdraw from Germany, pledging to personally lobby President Donald Trump for their relocation.
- The Pentagon's withdrawal decision follows Berlin's criticism of the US-Israeli war against Iran, with reports last month indicating Trump intends to "punish" NATO allies failing to support the conflict.

- Pentagon officials plan to complete the withdrawal within one year, leaving a tight window for development, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has cautioned against attempts to "poach" troops from other European allies.
