Ambassador in Vilnius: US military contingent is stationed in Lithuania on a permanent basis. After 2026, when the United States intends to reconsider the strategy of deploying its troops abroad, the situation for Lithuania will not change.

“Everything will remain the same, planning is already underway,” she concluded. A battalion-level replacement contingent of the US Army has been stationed in Lithuanian since April 2014. Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that Poland wants to increase the contingent of US troops on its territory.
