US Is Interested in a Polish Offer for a Permanent US Military Base, Polish Official Says
Poland says the U.S. is weighing a permanent base as talks continue over a larger troop presence, with about 10,000 American troops already stationed there.
- On Tuesday, the Polish government approved a resolution inviting the United States to establish a permanent military base in Poland, a move Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk described as a formal invitation to the Americans.
- Around 10,000 U.S. troops are typically stationed in Poland on a rotational basis; Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz argued in mid-May that "sometimes a rotating model can change into a permanent model and this is always much better."
- Tomczyk confirmed Poland and the U.S. are "in a working dialogue," stating, "The Americans are interested in the Polish offer to place a permanent base here." Both countries have confirmed mutual interest in pursuing the proposal.
- U.S. Defense Department officials in Washington said they had nothing new to announce regarding the proposal, though the May halt of 4,000 soldiers despite Trump calling Poland a "model ally" raised questions about commitment.
- As the U.S. reorganizes its military presence in Europe, Kosiniak-Kamysz acknowledged that "the decision will always be on the side of the Americans," underscoring Poland's limited control over the outcome despite active lobbying efforts.
