Lithuania has proposed hosting a permanent United States military base and offered to cover all associated costs for the presence of U.S. troops. Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas stated that the Baltic nation would fund the deployment, citing Lithuania's significant infrastructure investments and its status as a leader in defense spending among NATO member states.
President Donald Trump announced on October 5 that the United States would consider the proposal from Vilnius. The offer represents a strategic move by the Lithuanian government to solidify its security posture in the Baltic region through a permanent American military commitment.
