Donald Tusk assessed that the plan to withdraw American troops from certain European countries, including Germany, is a “delicate matter” and said he does not want to “poach” them. The Prime Minister’s remarks were addressed by Law and Justice (PiS) leader Jarosław Kaczyński. “Tusk once again reveals his true face,” he wrote on X. He emphasized that increasing the U.S. military presence in Poland “is something that cannot be overestimated.”
Donald Tusk was asked during a briefing before departing from Armenia whether, in light of the good relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Polish President Karol Nawrocki, he expected the relocation of U.S. troops withdrawn from Germany to Poland.
The head of the December 13 coalition replied that this is a “delicate matter.”
“I don’t think we, as a state, should be poaching (…). I will not allow Poland to be used in any way to undermine solidarity or cooperation at the European level,”
he added.
PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński responded to the Prime Minister’s statement.
“Strengthening the U.S. military presence in Poland is a delicate matter? Is that ‘poaching’ soldiers? Tusk once again reveals his true face,”
the politician wrote on X.
“Increasing American forces, and thus establishing a permanent U.S. base in Poland, is something that cannot be overestimated. It would change our situation to one incomparably better, incomparably safer. Tusk means Berlin. Today, no reasonable person can deny this,”
Jarosław Kaczyński stressed.
