Poland offers USD 2Bn to USA for establishing permanent military base

Poland wants a permanent U.S. military presence. To obtain it, the country proposes as much as USD 2 billion, according to a defense ministry proposal obtained by Polish news portal Onet. The Trump administration has pushed NATO allies to increase their defense budgets up to 2% of GDP, as the alliance suggests. Poland has been at or above 2% since 2015.
