Poland asked the United States on Wednesday to establish a new permanent military base on its territory, signaling Warsaw’s desire to deepen security ties with Washington amid growing concerns over European defense and regional stability.

“I have conveyed to the U.S. Secretary of Defense an official proposal to establish a new, permanent U.S. military base in Poland,” Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote Wednesday on X. Emphasizing that Washington’s commitment to Poland remains strong, he added, “U.S. engagement in Poland’s security is not diminishing — on the contrary, it may be even greater.”
