U.S. cancels planned deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland
The United States has abruptly cancelled a planned deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland, according to a report citing the decision as a sudden change in military planning.
The report says Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth called off the deployment.
It adds that the reason for the cancellation was unclear.
No casualties or immediate security incidents were reported in the row, but the move affects a planned U.S. military presence in a country that has close relations with Washington.
The decision matters because troop deployments are a visible sign of military commitment and coordination between allies.
A cancellation of this size can raise questions about timing, planning and the state of defence ties.
The supplied row does not say when the deployment was due to take place, what units were involved, or whether any replacement arrangement has been made.
It also does not give any official explanation from the Pentagon or Polish authorities.
Further details may emerge on the reasons for the change and whether the plan is being revised rather than abandoned.
