Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, announced that the Pentagon has signaled support for a permanent US military base in Poland, with a final decision from the White House expected in early December. Warsaw has offered to cover construction costs of up to $4.4 billion to host approximately 5,000 US troops.
