00:00U.S. President Donald Trump plans to deploy an additional 5,000 American troops to Poland.
00:06The announcement comes just two days after Vice President J.D. Vance says the planned troop deployment to Poland has
00:12been delayed.
00:15In a social media post, Trump said his relationship with Polish President Karol Nawrowski influenced the decision to increase American
00:22military presence in the country.
00:24The U.S. had earlier been reviewing its troop footprint across Europe with expectations that some deployments could be reduced.
00:32The review followed repeated calls from Trump for NATO members to take greater responsibility for Europe's defence and security commitments.
00:41In response to the move, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter welcomed the decision ahead of a meeting of foreign ministers
00:47in Sweden.
00:49However, he said the long-term trajectory towards Europe becoming less reliant on the U.S. for security and defence
00:55would continue.
00:57But let's be clear.
