In brief
Poland's defence minister said the Pentagon supported an additional permanent US base, expanding the American military presence. He said a final White House decision was expected in early December 2026.
Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said the Pentagon had backed plans for an additional permanent US military base in Poland after talks with Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, LIGA.net reported, citing his post on X.
Kosiniak-Kamysz said Hegseth had told him that matters were moving in the right direction when asked about a permanent American troop presence. The Polish side interpreted that response as Pentagon support. The minister said they also discussed details of the proposed base and steps towards implementing the plan.
The final decision rests with the White House and is expected in early December 2026, according to Kosiniak-Kamysz. His account describes progress in negotiations, rather than final approval or the opening of a base.
Poland already hosts a permanent US garrison, and the negotiations concern an additional base and an expanded long-term American presence, LIGA.net reported. The report did not specify the proposed base's location or the date of the meeting.
