US is likely to redeploy troops to Poland from elsewhere in Europe, not send in new ones – Trump
Poland has been craving more US troops on its soil for months, and President Donald Trump says its wish may come true as US may relocate its soldiers there from elsewhere in Europe.
The revelation was made by the US leader as he signed a declaration on “advancing defense cooperation” with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda on Monday.“Probably, we will be relocating troops from other European countries and won't be sending the new ones there,” Trump said.

The signed declaration encompasses several locations which Poland has to develop and where the US troops will be stationed. A US Air Force “remotely piloted aircraft squadron,” i.e. a drone base, will be deployed to the country. It is not immediately clear if it will house only surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or the US weapon of choice - the killer drones - as well.
