Mr Kirby said the US is worried about the prospect of warplanes departing from a US and NATO base to fly into airspace contested with Russia.
"We will continue to consult with Poland and our other NATO allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland's proposal is a tenable one," Mr Kirby said.
