  • President Karol Nawrocki said he hopes the US will finalize plans to establish a permanent military base in Poland, to be called ‘Fort Trump.’

  • Nawrocki is confident that a decision is “just a question of time” and he’d like construction to be completed before President Donald Trump’s term ends.

  • The idea of a permanent US base was first floated by Nawrocki’s predecessor Andrzej Duda in 2018, and officials in Warsaw have redoubled their efforts to lock in a presence for US troops since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022

    Appealing to his ego is a smart move. It’s ridiculous that this is the approach most likely to succeed but you play the hand you’re dealt.

      Appealing to his ego is a smart move.

      Don’t know about smart, but It’s the only way to get his attention. I don’t believe Poland get to name the base but suggesting it gets his attention. If they build it, I’d sure hope it’s will be finished after Trump’s term so the can reconsider the name. Having something named after Trump in Europe makes me puke.
