Poland offers to host US troops withdrawn from Germany as Trump announces reductions

President Trump announced plans to withdraw 5,000 US troops from Germany, with reports suggesting deeper cuts may follow. Polish President Karol Nawrocki offered Poland as an alternative host for the withdrawn forces during NATO exercises in Lithuania. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio downplayed the withdrawal as routine repositioning while European officials expressed concern about NATO reliability.
