The United States has granted Poland a $4 billion Foreign Military Financing loan guarantee to support the country’s continued investments in American-made defense systems. Announced on Friday by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the agreement brings the total U.S. loan support to Poland to over $15 billion in the past three years.
Signed by DSCA Director Mike Miller, the loan guarantee underscores Washington’s commitment to strengthening NATO’s Eastern Flank and recognizes Poland’s increasing role in European security. According to DSCA, the program, implemented through the Department of State, aims to reinforce U.S. national security by helping partners like Poland acquire U.S. defense technologies, thereby sustaining American jobs and fortifying the defense industrial base.
Poland has been accelerating its military modernization, becoming one of NATO’s top defense spenders and a major buyer of U.S. systems. In May, the State Department cleared a potential $1.3 billion sale of RTX-made air-to-air missiles to strengthen Poland’s air combat capabilities.
Earlier this year, Northrop Grumman also secured two contracts worth a combined $1.4 billion to enhance Integrated Battle Command System operations in Poland. The deals support software upgrades and IBCS production for the Eastern European nation’s WISŁA and NAREW air defense programs. Poland is the first U.S. ally to deploy IBCS, a networked command and control platform designed to integrate sensors and weapons systems.
Beyond defense, the two countries are also cooperating in the energy sector. A consortium of U.S. energy firms recently signed an engineering development agreement with Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe to support nuclear power plant construction in Poland, part of a broader push to diversify Warsaw’s energy sources.
