The United States has been reviewing its military presence across Europe as Washington continues to press NATO allies to take greater responsibility for European security and defence spending.
Trump previously hosted Nawrocki at the White House and publicly endorsed him ahead of the Polish presidential election, in which he defeated the candidate backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-European centrist camp.
