The space proposed by Poland's government for a U.S. military base in the country may not be enough to allow U.S. forces to construct a permanent facility that Poland's president offered to name "Fort Trump."
U.S. Army Secretary Mark Esper told news outlet AFP on Wednesday that the space and terrain proposed by Poland's President Andrzej Duda did not offer enough room for facilities meant to train U.S. troops.
"It was not sufficient in terms of size and what we could do in the maneuver space and certainly on the ranges," Esper said, according to AFP. "You need a lot of range space to do tank gunnery, for example."
The terrain, he added, is "maybe not robust enough to really allow us to maintain the level of readiness we would like to maintain."

If they did it on purpose, it's pretty funny.
