Trump says US will ‘probably’ relocate some troops from Germany to Poland as ‘signal’ to Russia
Some of the US troops leaving Germany will be going to Poland at Warsaw’s expense, US President Donald Trump has announced during a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Washington.
Warsaw “will be paying for the sending of some additional troops, we'll probably be sending them from Germany to Poland,” Trump said on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, he confirmed that the US will be removing up to 9,500 troops from its bases in Germany, leaving 25,000 in place.

“Some will be coming home and some will be going to other places, but Poland would be one of those places, other places in Europe,” the US president added.
His comments came after Duda told reporters he had asked the US not to remove troops from Europe at all, arguing that their presence was needed to guarantee security for Poland and other nations against the threat of “Russian aggression.”
