<\/a>After months of pushing for a permanent U.S. military presence in Poland as a bulwark against Russia, the Polish president offered President Trump a new incentive tailored to his real estate sensibilities: naming rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would very much like for us to set up a permanent base in Poland, which we would call Fort Trump,\u201d Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday in a joint news conference at the White House. \u201cI firmly believe that this is possible. I am convinced that such a decision lies in the Polish interest and in the interest of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
Standing nearby, Trump smirked and raised his right eyebrow before pursing his lips as he appeared to consider the possibility of an American military base in Poland emblazoned with his name.<\/p>\n
Though the Polish president\u2019s naming proposal appeared to be in jest, Trump said Poland was willing to make a \u201cvery major\u201d contribution if the United States were to establish a permanent military presence in the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they\u2019re willing to do that, it\u2019s something we will certainly talk about,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
In May 2018, the Polish government offered to spend up to $2 billion to establish a permanent U.S. military presence in Poland.<\/p>\n
A senior Polish government official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Warsaw would potentially be willing to spend even more over time or offer additional incentives to Washington.<\/p>\n
U.S. forces are already deployed to Poland on a rotational basis, part of an effort by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to step up defenses on its eastern flank after Russia\u2019s 2014 annexation of Crimea.<\/p>\n
The United States does not currently operate any permanent military bases in Poland.\u00a0In March, the United States and Poland said technical problems would delay completion of the Polish section of a U.S. missile defense shield by two years to 2020.\u00a0 Link HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n All jokes aside, the Polish have been doing great things.\u00a0 When the Soviet Union fell apart Poland had about the same economy as Ukraine.\u00a0 Unlike Ukraine, the Polish embraced Western Free Markets and as a result are now about 8 times the economy of Ukraine.\u00a0 There has also been steadfast resistance to Islamic thugs in Poland.\u00a0 Besides, its bigly\u00a0fun to serve with a Pole.<\/p>\n
