The United States has canceled the planned deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland, a move linked to a broader Pentagon decision to reduce the American military presence in Germany by 5,000 personnel, according to information confirmed to Euronews. The reversal comes after Washington announced earlier this month that troops would be withdrawn from bases in Germany over the next six to nine months.

The Army has abruptly halted a planned deployment to Poland, bringing U.S. personnel numbers in Europe to pre-2022 levels — before Russia invaded Ukraine.
