WARSAW, POLAND - Some members of Polands government on Friday denied a Reuters report saying talks over a U.S.-Polish defense deal known as Fort Trump were crumbling amid disputes over how to fund the deployment of additional U.S troops and where to garrison them.
This is fake news, Krzysztof Szczerski, a top aide to the Polish president, told public radio on Friday.
The U.S. ambassador to Poland, Georgette Mosbacher, reacting on Twitter to the report, said negotiations remained on track.
President Trump @POTUS & @Prezydentpl Dudas vision for increased US presence in Poland will be even greater than originally outlined. Announcement coming soon.

Marines: Have to sing "I'm a little teapot" at every promotion board. Air Force: Have to do Army level PT every day. Navy: Permanently assigned to a WWI sub. Army: In charge of post morale and there's no coffee.

Oh my god, I've suddenly realised who the buyer for this was:

Still not found.

In September 2017, when the museum declined a White House request to loan its 1888 Van Gogh painting Landscape with Snow for President Donald Trump's private rooms, curator Nancy Spector offered to loan America instead. Any reply by the White House was not reported.

If Poland objects, tell them we're closing it and taking our troops out

(21,304 posts)it all makes sense now. Just think about how Trump makes decisions that affect our national security. He moves troops out of Germany because Angela Merkel said a bad about not being in the same room with Trump while Poland is going to name a base after him.
Shit, you don't even need to have dirt on Trump to get him to do something, just flatter him.
