Trump announces progress toward permanent U.S. Army base in Poland
President Donald Trump said on September 17, 2026 that major progress is being made toward establishing a U.S. Army base in Poland, with a location to be announced soon. The announcement comes amid a Pentagon review of U.S. forces stationed abroad and follows a months-long back-and-forth over troop levels in Poland, including a canceled 4,000-troop rotation in May that was later reversed with a pledge of 5,000 troops. Poland has approximately 10,000 U.S. troops on rotational deployment and has been seeking a permanent American base on NATO's eastern flank.
