Remarks follow Polish President Duda's call for the U.S. to station nuclear arms in Poland.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed skepticism regarding the idea of moving American nuclear weapons into Poland, stating he would be 'shocked' if former President
Donald Trump supported such a decision.
During an interview, Vance emphasized the need for caution on the matter, indicating that he had not discussed the specifics with Trump.
Vance's comments were in response to Polish President Andrzej Duda, who has publicly advocated for the deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons in Poland.
In a recent interview, Duda articulated that the time had come for such a move, asserting that it would enhance security against potential Russian aggression.
He remarked, 'I think it’s not only that the time has come, but that it would be safer if those weapons were already here.'
The United States currently maintains nuclear weapons bases in several NATO countries, including Germany, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
These deployments form a critical part of NATO's deterrence posture against potential threats in Europe, particularly from Russia, which has heightened tensions in the region in recent years.
