Polish president proposes permanent US base called 'Fort Trump,' despite NATO restriction

Speaking with Trump and reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Poland's president, Andrzej Duda, told Trump that he'd like the U.S. to create a permanent military base with that name in Poland -- and that Poland would pay more than $2 billion for the project.

If they will take an 80+ year old, I’ll go. Spent some time there years back; loved the place.

I think this is a GREAT idea. Remember Kosciuszko and Pulaski. They contributed significantly to the success of our revolution.

Germany does not charge the U.S. for the bases that our Army uses in their country, and provides some money to offset the costs.

Instead of going to Poland, rename Fort Drum to Fort Trump and move the troops to New York.

HeH - could you see how the US media would make their reports - "Today, troops were deployed to THAT base in Poland...." as they rolled their eyes and made sourpuss expressions.

Have any other countries asked for a military base in their country, nevermind offer to pay for part of it?

Not that I believe we should have any overseas bases.
