'Fort Trump' is dead
WARSAW/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fort Trump appears to have fallen. Poland's grand proposal in 2018 to name a military base in honor of Donald Trump, in return for the U.S. president placing a permanent presence there, has crumbled amid disputes over how to fund the deployment and where to garrison the soldiers, sources say.
A U.S. official familiar with the matter said the idea had been doomed from the start: "There is no Fort Trump."
On June 12 last year, Trump agreed, with Polish President Andrzej Duda beside him at the White House, to send 1,000 more troops to his NATO ally, bolstering its defenses against Russia to the east and cementing bilateral ties.
Many officials called the project "Fort Trump", although the name was never official, and the idea of building a new base for the troops was soon dropped
