Poland says Pentagon backs permanent US base, with Trump decision due in December

Poland said the Pentagon has endorsed establishing a permanent U.S. military base on its territory, with President Donald Trump expected to make a final decision in December. Warsaw has been pushing for a lasting American troop presence as NATO allies worry about further U.S. drawdowns in Europe. The endorsement signals possible momentum for a long-term basing deal, though the ultimate outcome rests with the White House. A favorable decision would deepen Washington's military footprint on NATO's eastern flank; a rejection would leave Poland reliant on rotational deployments. Watch the December announcement for the scope and permanence of any U.S. commitment.
