Dr. Karol Nawrocki calls for strong U.S.-Poland ties, emphasizing leadership and local engagement in his presidential campaign.
“The world will now change even faster. We are facing a great opportunity. The Polish president and the Polish state must be leaders in building the transatlantic alliance. I cannot imagine that the future president of Poland would be someone unable to establish good cooperation with the U.S. president,”
said Dr. Karol Nawrocki.
The world is changing faster than ever, and Poland faces a historic opportunity to solidify its role as a key player in the transatlantic alliance. Dr. Karol Nawrocki, a citizen candidate for the Polish presidency, stresses the need for a leader capable of fostering strong relations with the United States under the administration of Donald Trump. According to Dr. Nawrocki, Poland’s future depends on effective collaboration with Washington, a task he argues his main opponent, Rafał Trzaskowski, and his superior, Donald Tusk, are unprepared to handle.
Challenges in U.S.-Poland Relations
Dr. Nawrocki points to Tusk’s history of public criticism and alleged inaction toward the U.S., such as failing to ensure a permanent Polish ambassador in Washington, as obstacles to rebuilding trust. He emphasizes that accusations and insinuations cannot form the basis of a strategic alliance with the world’s most powerful country.
A Campaign Focused on People
Despite narrowing the polling gap with Trzaskowski to four points, Dr. Nawrocki remains focused on connecting directly with Polish citizens. He believes May’s election will determine Poland’s future direction and underscores that the decision lies solely with the Polish people—not foreign capitals.
The stakes of the election, he emphasizes, are enormous. Referring to the clear support given to Trzaskowski by Zelensky, the civic candidate for the President of Poland emphasizes: “The president of Poland will be chosen by Poles, not Kyiv, Berlin, or Brussels.”
