Trump Considers Building Permanent Military Base in Poland
----------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has confirmed the United States is considering building
a permanent U.S. military base in Poland.

President Donald Trump: "We're looking at it very seriously. I know
Poland likes the idea very much. And it's something that we are
considering, yes."
Trump made the comment during a White House meeting with Polish
President Andrzej Duda, who suggested naming the base "Fort Trump."
Poland has been pushing for an increased U.S. presence as a counter to
what it has described as Russian aggression in the region.
