The offer was made during NATO exercises in Lithuania, with Nawrocki arguing Poland already has the infrastructure to accommodate a larger U.S. deployment.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal comes after Trump announced plans to withdraw about 5,000 troops from Germany over the next year following tensions with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Polish leaders are trying to support closer ties with Washington while preventing any move that could weaken NATO unity. Poland\u2019s officials say discussions with the U.S. are already underway at both military and diplomatic levels, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk cautioned that Poland should not appear to benefit at Germany\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s planned withdrawal has drawn criticism in the U.S.Congress, where Republican lawmakers warned it could weaken NATO deterrence against Russia and suggested relocating the troops eastward instead of withdrawing them from europe entirely.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read
