Trump says 'major progress' made toward permanent US Army base in Poland

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that significant progress has been made toward establishing a US Army base in Poland, crediting the "bold leadership" of Polish President Karol Nawrocki in a Truth Social post. The base's location could be announced "very soon," he said. Warsaw revealed in August that it was in talks with Washington about a permanent US military presence. The announcement comes despite Trump's administration launching a formal review of US military posture in Europe, which has raised fears among allies of a drawdown. Nawrocki said Poland would provide "the best possible location" for the base.
