President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. is making significant progress towards establishing a permanent Army base in Poland, attributing this to Polish President Karol Nawrocki’s leadership. The location for the proposed base could be revealed soon, marking a substantial increase in American military presence on NATO's eastern border since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Warsaw views such a move as crucial for bolstering deterrence and alliance security in the region.

Story summary
President Donald Trump announced significant progress toward establishing a new U.S. Army base in Poland, crediting the effort to Polish President Karol Nawrocki. The proposed base would mark a substantial expansion of American military presence on NATO's eastern flank, particularly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Poland has been pushing for such an arrangement since 2022. In June, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz indicated that the U.S. Department of Defense was open to hosting a permanent American military presence in Poland, although no final decision had been made at the time. Trump expects the location for the base will be announced soon, heralding a historic step for the U.S./Polish Alliance.
