Poland asked to keep US nuclear weapons, Vance: I would be surprised if Trump would accept

US Vice President JD Vance has said he would be "shocked" if President Donald Trump supported the idea of basing US nuclear weapons in Poland.
In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Vance was asked about Warsaw's proposal to keep US strategic missiles on its territory as a "deterrent against future Russian aggression."
"I haven't spoken to the president about that issue, but I would be surprised if he would support nuclear weapons extending further east into Europe," Vance said.
Polish President Andrzej Duda has called on Washington to move some of its nuclear arsenal stored in Western Europe or the US to Poland, claiming on Thursday that he had discussed the idea with Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, according to the Financial Times.
The Polish president reportedly made a similar request to the Joe Biden administration in 2022, but it was never approved.
Polish officials are reportedly calling for militarization to address the perceived threat posed by Moscow. Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed earlier this month that Russia could launch a “full-scale operation” against a “bigger” target than Ukraine within three to four years – which Moscow has repeatedly denied.
