Talks between Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Pete Hegseth brought a planned statement on defense-industrial cooperation and a Polish assessment of discussions on strengthening a permanent US military presence in Poland. They did not include an announced US decision to create or expand a permanent base.
At the start of the meeting, Hegseth said the sides would sign a statement to increase defense-industrial cooperation, TVN24 reported. The supplied report does not give the document’s text, legal status, or implementation details.
Kosiniak-Kamysz called the dialogue on strengthening the permanent US military presence in Poland “successful.” Earlier, Polsat News reported that establishing a permanent US military base in Poland was among the main subjects of the official meeting. The Polish minister’s favorable assessment describes the talks; it is not an announcement of a basing agreement.
The public remarks go beyond the earlier account of the meeting agenda: they point to a planned industrial-cooperation document and continuing talks on military presence. They do not establish a US commitment on a base, for which no location, scale, funding, or timetable was disclosed.
