Polish Defense Minister on Thursday expressed hope that the establishment of the US base in the country would not take much time.
WARSAW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2018) Polish Defense Minister on Thursday expressed hope that the establishment of the US base in the country would not take much time.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump and his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda held a meeting in Washington, during which it was announced that the United States was considering the idea of setting up a permanent military presence in Poland at Duda's request.
"I hope that in a relatively short period of time we will be able to say that the US troops stationed in Poland will remain in Poland permanently," Blaszczak said.
In May, the Polish Defense Ministry published a document stating that Poland was ready to pay $1.5-$2 billion for the establishment of a US military base that would host a permanent armored division in the country.
In mid-June, Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov said that the possible deployment of a US armored division to Poland would violate the 1997 Russia-NATO Founding Act.
