The Pentagon suddenly canceled the plan to deploy an armored brigade to Poland. The 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, subordinate to the U.S. Army's 1st Cavalry Division, numbers over 4,000 personnel and was originally scheduled for deployment to Poland, with some forces possibly operating in other parts of Europe. When Heggese unexpectedly ordered the cancellation of this deployment, part of the brigade’s equipment and personnel had already been en route to the destination. The move is seen as a significant step by Trump in reducing U.S. military presence in Europe, surprising some military officials. However, the Trump administration maintains close ties with Poland, and Trump earlier this month hinted that some U.S. troops stationed in Germany might be relocated to Poland. Previously, the Pentagon had announced the withdrawal of 5,000 soldiers from Germany, as a response to Merz's criticism of the White House's handling of the war against Iraq.
