Furious Trump Laces Into Hegseth After Major Troop Blunder
Trump said the 5,000-troop Poland move was only a delay and rotation, after Hegseth announced a cancellation that alarmed NATO allies.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump reversed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's plan to cancel the deployment of 5,000 troops to Poland, citing the election of Polish President Karol Nawrocki.
- Previously, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a withdrawal of 5,000 personnel from Germany to "punish" the country after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the U.S. handling of the war in Iran.
- Rep. Mike Rogers, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said his committee was "not happy" about the initial decision, citing lack of statutory consultation with lawmakers.
- Vice President J.D. Vance dismissed the European reaction as "overreacting," while White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said Trump and Hegseth remain in "lockstep" on troop movements.
- Lawmakers criticized the reductions for sending the wrong signal to allies and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 4-year-old war in Ukraine, raising strategic concerns.
