Permanent U.S. base in Poland: now or never. "It will only get harder later"

Talks are underway to establish a permanent US military presence in Poland. In practice, the end of 2026 is 1 of the last moments to be able to "permanently" anchor American military engagement in Poland and our part of Europe – "The current administration, especially the White House, is more open at the political level to making decisions about a permanent presence that go beyond the old consensus based on the NATO-Russia Act of 1997. (…) erstwhile it comes to building a permanent presence, the window of chance is today, it will not be later," says Tomasz Szatkowski, Secretary General of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group in the European Parliament, in 2019-2024 Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to NATO Headquarters, in an interview with Defence24.pl.
