Vance forsvarer forsinket udsendelse af amerikanske tropper til Polen

USA's vicepræsident JD Vance har forsvaret den bebudede reduktion af tropper i Tyskland og Polen. Polen understreger, at der ikke er truffet beslutning om troppereduktion.

USA's vicepræsident JD Vance understregede i Det Hvide Hus, at der ikke er tale om at trække hver eneste amerikanske soldat ud af Europa. I stedet ønsker administrationen at flytte visse ressourcer for bedst muligt at sikre USA's sikkerhed.

Polens forsvarsminister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz skrev efter en samtale med sin amerikanske modpart Pete Hegseth, at USA's engagement i forsvaret af Polen ikke ændrer sig. De trufne beslutninger er på ingen måde rettet mod det strategiske partnerskab.

USA havde i begyndelsen af maj bebudet at ville trække 5000 soldater ud af Tyskland inden for et år. I sidste uge rapporterede Wall Street Journal, at Pentagon havde stoppet udsendelsen af en kampbrigade på 4000 soldater til Polen. Nu lyder meldingen fra USA, at der er tale om en sædvanlig forsinkelse i rotationen.

President Donald Trump, via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany due to European allies' insufficient support for U.S. operations against Iran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced the move follows a force posture review and will occur over six to twelve months, primarily affecting a brigade combat team and halting a planned long-range fires battalion deployment. The decision fulfills prior threats and escalates tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the ongoing conflict.
