US provides allies: Aim for Stronger NATO

Ruby's intervention at the end of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Sweden came after US President Donald Trump said the US would send 5,000 additional troops to Poland.

The decision came a week after a planned 4,000-strong deployment in the country was cancelled and several days after an announcement that US troops would withdraw from Germany.

Reports have caused confusion among allies of the transatlantic defence organisation.

However, at a press conference after NATO meeting Friday, Rubio said the US was constantly reevaluating the presence of their troops in the function of their global commitments, but the goal was “Strongest NATO”

It is reported that some American troops are currently involved in the Middle East, following the US and Israeli conflicts with Iran.

US are certainly the greatest and most capable ally of NATO.

It has kept troops in European countries for decades as a preventive force originally aimed at confronting the Soviet Union.

The largest American contingent is in Germany, where there are more than 36,000 active troops.

There are about 12,000 troops in Italy and 10,000 in the United Kingdom and about 10,000 in Poland as well.

Trump made the announcement of the new Polish deployment, while NATO ministers were in Sweden for talks.

Writing on his Social Truth platform, Trump said the decision was based on US relations with Polish President Carol Nawrocki, whom he supported during last year's presidential elections and who is a longtime supporter of it.

The American leader did not elaborate whether the additional troops were part of the previously planned deployment or another operation.
