President of Poland Karol Nawrocki arrived in Dallas, Texas, on Friday evening local time. On Saturday, he is scheduled to take part in the CPAC conference and visit the headquarters of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. His speech at CPAC is planned for approximately 3:30 p.m. local time (around 9:30 p.m. in Poland).
The president is on a two-day working visit to the United States. On Saturday afternoon local time, he will participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he is expected to deliver a speech. According to the schedule released by the Presidential Chancellery, his address is set for around 3:30 p.m. local time (approximately 9:30 p.m. in Poland).
President Karol Nawrocki is the only sitting head of state attending this year’s CPAC.
“President Nawrocki is a major star of CPAC. Americans invited the Polish president in this role because he is proof that conservatives can win elections against the united forces of the left-wing international, which controls the media, the courts, big business, and electoral systems,” said Michał Rachoń, program director of TV Republika, who is currently in Texas.
Marcin Przydacz, head of the Presidential Office of International Policy, told journalists on Friday that during CPAC, the president will address current security challenges and present “our substantive and reliable assessment of the policy of the Russian Federation — a disruptor of the global order, peace in Central and Eastern Europe, and also a threat to global affairs.”
Earlier on Saturday, at around 10:45 a.m. local time, President Nawrocki is set to visit the headquarters of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, where fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets are produced. These aircraft are expected to be stationed at Poland’s 32nd Tactical Air Base in Łask by mid-2026.
In 2020, Poland signed a $4.6 billion contract to acquire 32 F-35A combat aircraft for the Polish Air Force. Training of Polish pilots and technicians is currently underway in the United States.
Przydacz added that, in Texas, aside from meeting with the Polish diaspora, the president will also take part in discussions on the economy and energy. He is expected to return to Poland on Monday.
On Sunday morning, Karol Nawrocki will attend Holy Mass at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Dallas. In the afternoon, a meeting with members of the Polish diaspora is planned, during which he will present state decorations.
