**Jędrzej Bielecki: Rzeczpospolita:“Congress against withdrawal of troops”**
"The Armed Forces Committee of the home of Representatives opposes plans for the White home to reduce US troops in Poland and Romania. Before the July NATO summit in The Hague, which is to find the direction of the Alliance's defence policy, attention was drawn to the announcement of Donald Trump's arrival – it may depend on his position on the future of American engagement in NATO. Maintaining US command in Europe was considered a affirmative signal. General Chris Cavali warned that reducing troops would weaken Russia's deterrence. Trump's plans met with the uncommon consent of Republicans and Democrats who considered the US's presence in Europe to be crucial to safety and transatlantic relations."
