New US “Fort Trump” military base in Poland “confirmed”, says President Nawrocki
President Karol Nawrocki of Poland has confirmed that a new permanent US military base, tentatively named "Fort Trump", is proceeding, according to American President Donald Trump. Nawrocki believes Trump's reputation for keeping his word supports the base's confirmation. The base's infrastructure selection is underway, with consultants already visiting Poland.
Nawrocki also expressed confidence that President Trump himself could attend its inauguration. Poland's deputy defense minister, Stanisław Wziątek, suggested the base could host between 3,000 and 5,000 US troops, with an estimated 4,500 being the most realistic figure. Poland aims for around 15,000 US soldiers in the country, including the 10,000 currently stationed on a rotational basis.
The base's cost to Poland is estimated to be over 15 billion zloty, depending on US involvement. Poland's government supports the project and is actively working towards its realization.
