Poland’s president has called on the US to transfer nuclear weapons to its territory as a deterrent against future Russian aggression.

Axar.az informs citing Reuters, Duda said he recently discussed this proposal with US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

“The borders of NATO moved east in 1999, so 26 years later there should also be a shift of the NATO infrastructure east. For me this is obvious,” the FT cited Andrzej Duda as saying in an interview

It would be safer if those weapons were already in the country, Duda noted.
