Poland’s President Andrzej Duda confirmed today that he received reassurances from the United States that there are no plans to reduce U.S. military presence in the region, following his meeting with U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.
Duda emphasized that the U.S. has no intention of scaling back its military activities in Poland or the broader region, particularly concerning security.
He reassured the Polish people, urging them to remain calm regarding the U.S.’s policy in the region.
Poland, a key ally of Ukraine, was the final stop on Kellogg’s trip before heading to Kyiv, where he is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
The visit follows high-level talks between U.S. officials and Russian negotiators in Saudi Arabia, marking the first such discussions since President Donald Trump unexpectedly agreed to initiate peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While some European leaders are concerned that Washington may make significant concessions to Moscow, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned NATO members on Friday that the U.S. military presence in Europe will not last “forever.”
