U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivers a press statement after a bilateral meeting at the Ministry of Defense in Warsaw, Poland, on February 14, 2025. On February 14, a high-level defense meeting takes place in Warsaw between Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz and U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The talks focus on strengthening bilateral defense cooperation, enhancing regional security, and reinforcing deterrence measures on NATO's eastern flank. Poland remains a key U.S. ally in Europe, actively cooperating within NATO and hosting American forces on its territory. In recent years, Poland significantly expands its defense capabilities by procuring advanced U.S. military equipment. In 2024, Poland acquires 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, the IBCS system for the WISLA and NAREW air defense programs, and in January 2025, signs a contract for over 200 AGM-88G AARGM-ER missiles. As one of the leading NATO members in defense spending, Poland allocates nearly 5% of its GDP to national security. The 2025 defense budget includes a record-breaking allocation of PLN 124.3 billion, rising to PLN 186.6 billion with additional military funding. These investments support Poland's long-term commitment to modernizing its armed forces and strengthening its strategic position in the region
