Trump speaks during a news conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Washington on June 24.
Duda called it a “very reasonable decision” and said he had asked Trump not to withdraw US troops from Europe “because the security of Europe is very important to me.” Trump, who is seeking to demonstrate that the coronavirus pandemic – which has damaged his own re-election chances – is abating was lavish with his praise of Duda.
According to the Polish newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, 30 US F-16 fighter jets stationed in Germany could be moved to Poland along with some 2,000 troops.As tensions have grown, however, the alliance has rotated troops through front-line countries. “If for example US troops in Europe are moved to Poland, this must be done with the Nato-Russia pact in mind,” she said.The right-wing Duda, who is backed by the governing Law and Justice Party, is the current frontrunner in Poland’s election – but the centrist Europhile opposition candidate Rafal Trzaskowski has been catching up in the polls.
US Representative Marcy Kaptur, a Democrat from Ohio who co-chairs the Congressional Poland Caucus, condemned the decision to host Duda at this time.
