J.D. Vance argues that the deployment of American troops in Poland is "permanent", not "temporary".

J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the USA, stated on Tuesday that the planned deployment of 4,000 American troops in Poland is postponed, not canceled, emphasizing the need for Europe to become more autonomous in defense matters. This statement comes after American officials indicated last week that the deployment had been canceled following a reassessment of the American military presence in NATO by President Donald Trump.

Vance mentioned that this is a delay in the rotation of troops, which could be redistributed to other parts of Europe. The Pentagon recently canceled the deployment of the 2nd Armored Brigade, a unit with over 4,000 soldiers, surprising even American military officials. This decision was made in the context of a stricter policy of the Trump administration towards European allies, especially regarding their contributions to collective defense.
