“The presence of American troops in Poland plays a very important, frightening role, much more important than their continued presence in the West,” the television station quoted Polsat as saying.

He added that Russia would “think twice” before resorting to military means in the event of the presence of American troops.

The Foreign Minister also expressed hope that during the upcoming visit of US President Donald Trump to Poland, plans to move some of the American soldiers to Eastern Europe will be specified.

Earlier, the Polish Foreign Minister said that Warsaw supported the decision to increase the military contingent from the United States.
