Story summary

US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that there has been "major progress" toward establishing a permanent U.S. Army base in Poland, crediting Polish President Karol Nawrocki for his leadership. If finalized, the location of the new base will be revealed soon, marking a significant step for the U.S.-Polish alliance. This development comes as Poland seeks increased military presence on NATO’s eastern flank due to Russia's invasion of neighboring Ukraine in 2022. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz had earlier suggested Poznań and Wrocław as potential locations, though no final decision has been made yet. The U.S. currently deploys around 10,000 rotational forces in Poland with installations spread across eleven sites, including a headquarters in Poznań.
