Polish President Karol Nawrocki has revived a proposal for a permanent US military base in Poland called 'Fort Trump' as Warsaw seeks to bolster NATO's eastern flank amid heightened tensions with Russia. The move comes after Russian forces sent a helicopter into Polish airspace on Wednesday. Fort Trump was originally proposed by the US in 2019 but faced opposition from local communities and Congress. The revived proposal is seen as part of Poland's efforts to counterbalance Russia's military presence.
