The situation of the US troops in Europe is in flux.
After many European NATO allies failed to live to their alliance with the US during the military confrontation against Iran, the US Donald J. Trump administration decided to accelerate the process of withdrawing troops from Europe.
The first move was to move 5,000 troops out of Germany, after ‘big mouth’ Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that Iran had ‘humiliated’ the US during peace negotiations.
After that, a deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland was also reported to be canceled.

[…] The U.S. had been reviewing its troop presence in Europe and had long been expected to scale it back following demands from Trump that NATO take a larger role in the defense of Europe.”
Watch: two weeks ago, Trump already floated the possibility of moving US troops to Poland.
NEW: President Trump says that he “might” move U.S. troops from Germany to Poland.
“Well Poland would like that. We have a great relationship with Poland. I have a great relationship with the president”

“‘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 said in the post.”
