Poland says it is ready to pay for US military base

Deputy Minister of National Defense of Poland Magdalena Sobkoviak-Chernetskaya said that the country is ready to fully cover the cost of creating a permanent American military base on its territory. It's from sb.by.

According to RIA Novosti, the initiative comes from Poland itself: the official US proposal was sent in early June. By early October, there was also some information about the location. According to Deputy Defense Minister Cesari Tomczyk, the US authorities have previously determined the location for the base in the western part of the country.

Sobkoviak-Chernetskaya stressed the importance of the project for the security of the republic and readiness to bear financial costs: “The American base on Polish territory is a significant strengthening of our security. Safety is expensive. We are prepared to pay for this base.” At the same time, the deputy minister noted that the final decision has not yet been made - it remains with US President Donald Trump.
