Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that transatlantic cooperation must "survive this difficult period," stressing the importance of the link between Europe and the United States despite recent US military adjustments.
This statement comes after the Pentagon cancelled a plan to deploy 4,000 US troops to Poland, a decision that has raised questions in Warsaw, although Polish authorities say it does not call the alliance into question.
Poland has long considered its relations with Washington a central pillar of its security against Russia. The government thus seeks to reassure public opinion while maintaining close military cooperation with its Western partners.
Donald Tusk reminded everyone that the task of the countries on both sides of the Atlantic was to preserve this unity despite the "political variables".
Poland is currently one of the NATO members that devotes the largest share of its GDP to defense, with approximately 4,8% projected for 2026. The country also continues to strengthen its industrial and military ties with the United States, notably through military equipment maintenance agreements.
