Sikorsky spoke about the work on the American base “Fort trump” in Poland

The United States and Poland are working to open the first permanent US military base in the country. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.

According to him, the new base, which the leadership of the country wants to call “Fort trump” will be able to take about 10 thousand troops. Currently, the US military contingent in Poland is 7 thousand people.

We want an American presence that reassures us, but does not pose a threat to Russia. You cannot invade Russia with one brigade, Sikorsky said (quoted by Bloomberg). He expressed hope that US President Donald Trump “will keep the promise he made on this issue.”.

As Bloomberg notes, the idea of a permanent US military presence in Poland has been discussed since 2018. The first to name the base after Donald Trump was former Polish President Andrzej Duda. Current President Karol Navrotsky also insists on the name. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski yesterday called the option humiliating and risky.

Mr. Navrotsky expressed hope that the base could be completed before 2029. Donald trump last week reported “significant progress” in negotiations on the deployment of American troops in the Republic.
