Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to explain the conditions influencing the interest in the deployment of US military bases in Poland by the government offices of both countries. The author focuses his analysis on the internal policy of the Polish government and the reasons for involvement in the implementation of this type of projects announced by the US administration. It is also important in the article to show the tensions in this context that occur in bilateral relations between Poland and the Federal Republic of Germany. The considerations concern the period during which Barack Obama and Donald Trump were in office in the US. This is a legitimate procedure due to their different positions on the issue in question. The author based the analysis on available documents, scientific and journalistic publications, government communications, international agreements and scientific articles.
