Trump Effect: Poland to Increase Defense Spending to Five Per Cent, Build a Half Million Man Army, Says PM Tusk

"Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a number of new initiatives to bolster defense in a speech in Warsaw, as European

powers appear set to comply with U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands that the continent pay for its own protection rather than relying on America.
This goal puts Poland in line with Estonia and Lithuania as the first countries in Europe to agree to U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for NATO allies to increase their defense spending to at least five per cent of GDP compared to the current baseline of two per cent, which is still unmet by many within the alliance.
Additionally, Prime Minister Tusk called for Poland to build an army of at least half a million people, including reservists, up from around 200,000 today. To help accomplish this aim, the Polish leader called for the return of military training for all adult men in the country." Breitbart
