Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that there has been no consideration by his administration to remove U.S. troops from Poland, although there is contemplation of troop removal in "other countries." According to Yonhap News Agency, Trump made these remarks during a press availability at the White House, where he was engaged in discussions with Polish President Karol Nawrocki. He emphasized, "We never even thought in terms of removing soldiers from Poland. We do think about it with regard to other countries," without specifying which countries were being considered. Trump underscored the U.S. commitment to Poland by stating, "We're with Poland all the way, and we will help Poland protect itself." Currently, the United States maintains approximately 10,000 troops in Poland as part of a rotational force aimed at strengthening defense ties. The president's comments about potential troop withdrawal from other nations come amid ongoing concerns that his administration might contemplate a reduction in the 28,500-strong U.S. Forces Korea (USFK). This possibility arises as the U.S. seeks to adjust the role, mission, and operational scope of USFK to focus more on deterring China. In May, a report by The Wall Street Journal suggested that the U.S. was considering relocating roughly 4,500 troops from South Korea to other locations within the Indo-Pacific region, such as Guam. However, the Pentagon later dismissed these claims as "not true," reiterating America's "full" commitment to the defense of South Korea.
