WASHINGTON/WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland and the United States are close to a deal on an increased U.S. military presence in the central European state, including more personnel and infrastructure, ahead of a visit by President Andrzej Duda to Washington in June, officials told Reuters.

Disagreement remains, however, on who will pay for any new construction, as well as how long the American commitment will last.
