The Biden Administration is fronting a $2 billion “loan” to Poland to help the country modernize and improve their military, perhaps as a kickback for Poland’s continued support of Ukraine amidst their conflict with Russia.
“Today, the United States is proud to announce the signing of a milestone $2 billion Foreign Military Financing (FMF) direct loan agreement to support Poland’s defense modernization,” the State Department said, adding that Poland is a “stalwart US ally.”
“In addition to its central support role in facilitating international assistance to neighboring Ukraine, Poland has demonstrated its ironclad commitment to strengthening regional security through its robust investments in defense spending,” they added.
