Poland Seeks Permanent US Base on NATO Eastern Flank
Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said the proposal was presented during talks with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, signaling Warsaw’s push for stronger security guarantees.
“US engagement in Poland's security is not shrinking. On the contrary, it could grow even larger,” he wrote on the US social media platform X, adding: “A safe Poland means a strong army, a strong society and strong alliances.”
No information has been disclosed so far about the potential location, scale, or operational role of the proposed base.
The proposal comes as NATO members continue reassessing their defense strategies amid growing uncertainty about Europe’s long-term security environment. It also follows renewed discussions in recent weeks about the future structure of the US military presence in Europe, including reported reviews in Washington of troop deployments across the continent.
Polish officials have repeatedly emphasized that US commitments to Poland remain steady despite broader NATO debates on force distribution and defense burden-sharing.
