Trump to meet Duda as Poland looks to boost U.S. military's presence

U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Washington next week because Warsaw looks to boost U.S. military presence in the former communist state. Trump said on Monday that the United States would cut the number of its troops in NATO ally Germany by about 9,500.

Warsaw hopes some of the troops will be moved to Poland, which is also a member of the Western military alliance. U.S. ambassador to Poland on Wednesday praised the state of relations between Poland and the United States at a news conference at Drawsko military ground. She said cooperation between the two countries would grow and grow and that Duda and Trump have a very unique relationship.
