TRUMP: U.S. SENDING 1,000 MORE TROOPS TO ALLY POLAND

Washington — The United States will send 1,000 more troops to Poland as part of a growing security and economic partnership between the two countries, President Donald Trump said Wednesday. He and Polish President Andrzej Duda differed over Russia’s intentions toward the U.S. ally. At a time of ongoing worries about Russian military activity, Duda said he wanted Russia to be a friend of Poland even as he recounted his country’s long history of conflict with Moscow. Trump seemed to downplay Duda’s concerns.
