According to major international media reports on May 9, President Trump told reporters that, regarding the possibility of redeploying U.S. troops withdrawn from Germany to Poland, "Poland would want that," and added, "We have an excellent relationship with Poland." He continued, "I also have a very good relationship with the President of Poland and like him a lot. Therefore, it is possible."

Poland has openly requested that U.S. troops withdrawn from Germany be sent to its territory. On May 6, Polish President Karol Nawrocki stated that Poland is ready to accommodate U.S. troops moving out of Germany and that he would personally attempt to persuade President Trump.

Additionally, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated on X (formerly Twitter), "Our alliance with the United States is the foundation of our security," and added, "Poland is prepared to accept more U.S. troops to reinforce NATO's eastern flank and better defend Europe."

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Defense announced plans to withdraw approximately 5,000 U.S. troops stationed in Germany within the next six to twelve months. This action implements the troop reduction policy that President Trump had advocated following conflicts with Germany over issues such as the Iran war.
