US stops Poland troop deployment after Germany pullout order
Wesley Dockery with AP, AFP and Reuters14 hours
Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the US have criticized the Trump administration’s plans to cancel a troop deployment to Poland. It came after Trump ordered the pullout of 5,000 troops from Germany.
The Pentagon said it is halting the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland, according to US officials, after President Donald Trump’s administration said it would pull out thousands of soldiers in Germany.
The 4,000 troops in question belong to the Army’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team.
