US considers permanent military presence in Poland

Poland's proposal to host a permanent U.S. military presence is under consideration by the Department of War. Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the ongoing discussions following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in Brussels. The move aims to strengthen NATO's eastern flank amid ongoing tensions with Russia and would represent a major shift in U.S. force posture in Europe if approved.
