US troop plans for Poland fuel NATO tensions

NATO foreign ministers meeting in Sweden displayed unity, but divisions with the United States remain.

Confusion followed President Donald Trump’s shifting stance on deploying extra troops to Poland, leaving allies uncertain about the US's intentions.

Officials warned that unclear decisions and lack of consultation are straining coordination within NATO.

At the same time, tensions over Ukraine, Iran and burden sharing persist, prompting calls to address alliance divisions at a key summit in Ankara.
