A Polish defence official announced that the United States has decided to establish a military base in Poland, a move that has long been a priority for Warsaw.
In a statement released this week, the official said the U.S. decision would strengthen NATO’s eastern flank and support regional security. The announcement comes after years of Polish officials lobbying for a permanent U.S. presence on Polish soil.
However, the Pentagon declined to confirm the decision, stating that it had not yet made a formal announcement. No details were provided about the size, location or timeline of the proposed base.
Poland has repeatedly highlighted the strategic importance of a U.S. military foothold in the country, citing concerns over regional security and the need for rapid response capabilities within NATO.
Until the U.S. government releases an official statement, the status of the proposed base remains uncertain. The Polish defence official’s claim has sparked debate among policymakers and observers about the pace of U.S. military expansion in Eastern Europe.
