US open to permanent base in Poland

Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated on Thursday that the U.S. Department of War is open to Poland's offer to host a permanent U.S. military presence in the country. The announcement followed his meeting with U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in Brussels. The proposed base would represent a significant shift from the current rotational presence of U.S. forces in Poland, which has sought a permanent American garrison as a deterrent against Russian aggression. No timeline or final decision has been announced, but discussions are ongoing between the two nations.
