Permanent US base in Poland is first of many to come in CEE says minister

The placement of the main command of the US Army's V Corps in Poland is the first step to adding other permanent US bases in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland's foreign minister said in Madrid, on Thursday. Zbigniew Rau told journalists at the Nato summit that Polish authorities had taken the position that the NATO-Russia Founding Act from 1997, which had long ensured cooperation between the alliance and Moscow, had expired.
