Poland plans to spend $250 million annually to develop U.S. military facilities

Poland plans to allocate $250 million a year until 2035 to develop U.S. military infrastructure across the country, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said after a meeting at the Pentagon with his U.S. counterpart Pete Hegseth.

"Another issue is investment in infrastructure inside Poland. By 2035, we plan to spend $250 million a year on joint Polish-US infrastructure investments," said in a statement on the ministry's website.

According to the minister, Poland spends $15,000 a year per US soldier.

More than 10,000 US troops are currently stationed in Poland. The US doubled the military contingent in the republic in February 2022.
