President Trump may visit Poland before Duda’s term ends, signaling strong Polish-American ties amid shifting U.S. politics.
Jacek Siewiera, Head of Poland’s National Security Bureau (BBN), hinted that Donald Trump could visit Poland before President Andrzej Duda’s term concludes. Siewiera emphasized that Polish-American relations remain strong, especially given President Duda’s longstanding ties with Trump’s political circle. This possible visit underlines Poland’s ongoing alliance with the United States and its continued importance in transatlantic relations.
Trump’s Victory and Polish Relations
After winning the recent U.S. election with 277 electoral votes, Trump’s administration is expected to bring familiar faces into high-level roles, many of whom have had prior relationships with Poland’s leadership. This familiarity could foster close cooperation on critical issues, particularly those tied to regional security.
President Duda, even before the official announcement, congratulated Trump on his victory, signaling Poland’s readiness to work closely with the new administration. Siewiera also expressed optimism, noting Trump’s presidency presents unique opportunities for Poland with fewer direct risks to national security.
