WARSAW, Poland — The U.S. and Poland are moving ahead with a plan to add another 1,000 U.S. troops to the country, perhaps by the end of this year, said Vice President Mike Pence and Poland’s President Andrzej Duda at a joint news conference Monday.
“Lots of proposals have been put on the table,†Duda said. “We hope this year we will be able to sign a final agreement concerning the extension of the U.S. presence†in Poland.
Pence said sites “for our joint bases have also been finalized,†but referred a reporter’s question about the timeline of the boost into Poland to the Pentagon.
