Trump Sends 5,000 Troops to Poland
President Trump announced 5,000 US troops will go to Poland. This reverses an earlier decision to cancel a troop deployment there.
The new deployment is larger than the one that was cancelled. Trump's move appears to contradict recent Pentagon positions. The Pentagon passed press questions on the topic to the White House.
Klear Note — Poland borders Russia and Ukraine. US troops in Poland show support for NATO allies in Eastern Europe.
