Polish President Karol Nawrocki thanked US President Donald Trump for his decision to send additional US troops to Poland.
The expression of gratitude came after Trump said on Thursday the United States would send 5,000 more troops, citing his relationship with conservative nationalist Nawrocki as the reason.
“Good alliances are those based on co-operation, mutual respect, and a commitment to our shared security,” Nawrocki wrote on X.
“I thank Trump for his friendship toward Poland and for the decisions whose practical dimension we see very clearly today,” Nawrocki added.
Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance told reporters a US troop deployment to Poland had been delayed, but it was not accurate to say the troops were being withdrawn from Europe.
