The United States will deploy an additional 5,000 US soldiers to Poland, President Donald Trump said on Thursday in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump said he was making the announcement based on "the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him."
The US president did not provide further details, such as when and from where the US soldiers would be sent to Poland.
Nawrocki, 43, won the presidential run-off in mid-2025 and visited Trump in the Oval Office several months later. The two made their mutual sympathy known at that time.
Nawrocki is backed by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party and has often been a thorn in the side of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a pro-European leader.
