US President Donald Trump said that Washington and Warsaw were making 'major progress' toward establishing a US military base in Poland, potentially giving the United States a permanent military foothold on NATO's eastern flank even as his administration reviews its broader troop presence in Europe.
Polandโs delivery of Black Hawk helicopters to the Philippines has given Warsaw a foothold in Manilaโs defence market as it seeks to expand exports from its growing defence industry, with analysts saying drones, air defence and potentially co-production could pave the way for a broader partnership.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia plans to launch โhybrid-styleโ drone and missile strikes against nations supporting Ukraine, including NATO-member Poland, as the war enters its most crucial phase.
The Kremlin said on Monday it would keep striking targets across the "whole" of Ukraine, when asked about a rare drone attack on the Polish border that has rattled Warsaw and its European allies. NATO-member Poland said on Sunday that Russia had hit a railway locomotive inside Ukraine, about two kilometres (one mile) from their shared border, just days after Kyiv said it had hit a crossing at its border with Moldova.
The EU's top diplomat said Monday that Russian strikes which hit a Warsaw-bound train near Ukraine's border with Poland shortly after top Western figures passed through were meant to "scare" off Kyiv's backers. "It is clearly meant to scare Western countries from supporting Ukraine, from going to Ukraine to show support," foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, urging Kyiv's backers to do "the opposite". France 24's Dave Keating reports from Brussels.
No casualties were reported after a Russian drone struck a train shortly after Boris Johnson and top European officials left the area.
Ukraine and Poland on Sunday condemned Russian strikes near close to the Polish border as an "escalation" in the war, after drones struck a Warsaw-bound trainย and near a frontier checkpoint.ย Ukraine's rail operator said former British PM Boris Johnson and ex-US CIA director David Petraeus were at a border train station nearby around the time the train was hit.
The former UK PM said "I don't know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning".
Russia says four people killed in Ukrainian strikes as both sides continue to attack each other with waves of drones.
