Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the United States has only delayed a planned troop deployment to Poland and is not withdrawing forces from Europe, amid growing concerns from lawmakers and NATO allies about America’s military commitment to the region.
Speaking during a White House briefing, Vance pushed back against reports suggesting the Trump administration was pulling back support for European defense. He explained that the decision involved a temporary delay in troop rotation rather than a permanent reduction of U.S. military forces in Poland.
“We’re not talking about pulling every single American troop out of Europe,” Vance said. “We’re talking about shifting some resources around in a way that maximizes American security.”
The controversy follows reports that approximately 4,000 U.S. troops originally expected to deploy to Poland may no longer move forward as planned. Critics argue the decision could weaken NATO’s eastern defenses at a time of heightened tensions in Europe.
The Pentagon later confirmed the delay. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that the move was linked to a broader review of U.S. military posture in Europe and a reduction in brigade combat teams stationed across the continent from four to three.
According to Parnell, the review is part of a “comprehensive, multilayered process” focused on evaluating strategic and operational requirements while encouraging European allies to contribute more to regional defense efforts.
The Trump administration has repeatedly urged NATO members to increase defense spending and take greater responsibility for Europe’s security. Vance echoed that position, saying Washington wants European nations to “take more ownership” of collective defense.
Parnell also confirmed that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke with Polish Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz on Tuesday to reassure Poland that the United States would maintain a strong military presence in the country while the Pentagon continues its assessment of future troop deployments in Europe.
