US opens missile base in Poland as Trump presidency looms over NATO

The United States will officially open a new air defense base in northern Poland on Wednesday, as Warsaw seeks to reassure citizens that NATO guarantees their security amid jitters after Donald Trump's presidential election victory.

Situated in the town of Redzikowo near the Baltic coast, the base has been in the works since the 2000s, and Warsaw says it symbolizes the fact that its military alliance with Washington remains solid no matter who is in the White House.
