U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday he would be surprised if President Donald Trump supported the deployment of nuclear weapons further east into Europe, following Poland’s request to host U.S. nuclear arms as a deterrent against Russia.
Polish President Andrzej Duda called for the United States to transfer nuclear weapons to Poland, citing the need for stronger security guarantees in response to Russian military threats.
Asked about the proposal during an interview on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, Vance said he had not yet spoken with Trump about the issue but expressed skepticism.
"I haven't talked to the President about that particular issue, but I would be shocked if he was supportive of nuclear weapons extending further east into Europe," Vance said.
The comments suggest the Trump administration may be hesitant to escalate nuclear deployments in the region. Poland has long advocated for a stronger NATO presence, particularly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The U.S. has not publicly indicated plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland, though under NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements, some member states host U.S. nuclear warheads as part of the alliance’s defense strategy.
Vance’s remarks come amid broader discussions on European security, as NATO members prepare for the alliance’s upcoming summit.
