Poland and U.S. advance talks on permanent military base FAST-MOVING
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that significant progress has been made toward establishing a permanent U.S. Army base in Poland. In a post on Truth Social, Trump credited the "bold leadership" of Polish President Karol Nawrocki for the advancement, describing the potential move as a "historic step" for the U.S.-Polish alliance.
Polish officials have expressed readiness for the development. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that Poland is prepared to host a permanent American military presence, which would strengthen the NATO eastern flank. The estimated costs for hosting the permanent presence are projected to be between 15 and 17 billion zlotys.
While the exact location has not been finalized, it is expected to be announced soon. Potential sites under consideration include Poznań and Powidz. The initiative follows years of Polish efforts to secure a more robust and permanent U.S. military presence in the region following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
