The United States is set to deploy an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, US President Donald Trump said on Thursday, saying the decision was based on his relationship with nationalist Polish President Karol Nawrocki.

"Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump's announcement comes just two days after the Pentagon said that it was reducing the number of US Army Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) in Europe from four to three.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that the US was stripping back its military presence on the continent as a result of a "comprehensive, multilayered process" which is "designed to advance President Trump's America First agenda in Europe and other theaters, including by incentivizing and enabling our NATO allies to take primary responsibility for Europe's conventional defense."

She doesn’t have any brand-new content on this, but I bet she will soon.

4. Narwocki is identified as a nationalist, and that's probably all it takes.

I like how Trmp says he endorsed him, as if foreign leaders have any business endorsing Polish candidates for office.

Trmp tried to claim "Prime Minister Poutine" of Canada endorsed him in his first presidential campaign. Similar comment applies (in addition to "Poutine" being a radio host playing a prank on an oh-so-credulous Trmp).
