Abstract: To a tropical $p$-cycle $V_{mathbbT}$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, we naturally associate a normal closed and $(p,p)$-dimensional current on $(mathbb{C}^{\ast }{)}^n$ denoted by $mathscr{T}_n^p(V_{mathbbT})$. Such a "tropical current" $mathscr{T}_n^p(V_{mathbbT})$ will not be an integration current along any analytic set, since its support has the form ${mLog,}^{-1}(V_{mathbbT})subset(mathbb{C}^{\ast }{)}^n$, where $mLog,$ is the coordinate-wise valuation with $log(|.|)$. We remark that tropical currents can be used to deduce an intersection theory for effective tropical cycles. Furthermore, we provide sufficient (local) conditions on tropical $p$-cycles such that their associated tropical currents are "strongly extremal" in $mathcalD{\text{'}}_{p,p}((mathbb{C}^{\ast }{)}^n)$. In particular, if these conditions hold for the effective cycles, then the associated currents are extremal in the cone of strongly positive closed currents of bidimension $(p,p)$ on $(mathbb{C}^{\ast }{)}^n$. Finally, we explain certain relations between approximation problems of tropical cycles by amoebas of algebraic cycles and approximations of the associated currents by positive multiples of integration currents along analytic cycles.
