00:00U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance says a planned troop deployment to Poland has been delayed, not cancelled, pushing
00:07back on earlier reports.
00:08He also rejected claims that the United States is preparing a large-scale withdrawal from Europe, calling them inaccurate.
00:18Speaking at a White House briefing, Vance said American troop levels in Poland had not been reduced by 4,000
00:25personnel, as some reports suggested.
00:27The reports prompted criticism from several U.S. lawmakers, who raised concerns over Washington's commitment to European security and its
00:36NATO allies.
00:37Poland has become one of NATO's key military and logistics hubs since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
00:46U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged NATO members to increase defense spending, warning of reduced American support for
00:54allies he says are not contributing enough.
00:56But Poland spends the highest portion of its GDP on defense of any NATO country at 4.8 percent.
