" It will take time, but it will demonstrate America's geostrategic determination. The Polish-American alliance is strong, no matter who is in power in Warsaw and Washington," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.
The US missile base is located in the town of Redzikowo near the Baltic coast. Poland says the base symbolizes the fact that its military alliance with Washington remains strong, regardless of who is in the White House.

Polish President Andrzej Duda will attend the inauguration of the new base. On November 11, Mr. Andrzej Duda revealed that Mr. Donald Trump called him to congratulate Poland's independence day.
Previous criticism from President-elect Donald Trump has worried some NATO members, as he has said that under his leadership, the US will not defend countries that do not spend enough money on defense.
However, Poland is confident that it is the country that spends the most on defense relative to the size of its economy .
In July, NATO also announced that a new US air defense base in northern Poland was ready for duty. The base, designed to detect and intercept ballistic missile attacks, is part of the NATO military alliance’s broader missile shield.
The new US ballistic missile defense site is located in Redzikowo, Poland and is now operational, ready to defend the alliance. "Called Aegis Ashore, the site is part of NATO's larger missile shield and is designed to detect, track and intercept ballistic missiles in flight," NATO said.
Aegis Ashore is purely defensive in nature. About 200 personnel are stationed at two interceptor sites in Poland and Romania. The base in the Romanian town of Deveselu has been operational since 2016.
