“This is a highly significant gesture, because President Trump doesn’t call every newly elected president, doesn’t immediately invite them to the White House, doesn’t extend such strong signals to just anyone,” said Tomasz Sakiewicz on Telewizja Republika, commenting on the phone call between President-elect Karol Nawrocki and U.S. President Donald Trump.
President-elect Karol Nawrocki posted on the social media platform X, announcing his phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump.
“I had a very good phone conversation with the President of the United States, Donald Trump,” he stated. He added that the topic of the conversation was “close allied relations and partnership-based political ties.”
“I invited President Trump to Poland. I also received an invitation to meet at the White House,” Nawrocki reported.
Tomasz Sakiewicz commented on the matter on Telewizja Republika.
“This is already the second gesture since the U.S. presidential election, the first being the congratulations. (…) This is a highly significant gesture, because President Trump doesn’t call every newly elected president, doesn’t immediately invite them to the White House, doesn’t extend such strong signals to just anyone,” he emphasized.
Firstly, Sakiewicz argued, Poland is seen as a very important ally in the U.S. strategic vision. Secondly, Americans now see an opportunity to pursue a policy of military, economic, and technological cooperation, which ensures Poland’s growth in all three areas—because the Polish people have chosen an alliance with the United States.
“The current government does not guarantee that alliance—that’s clear from their official statements. Donald Tusk even declared himself the leader of an anti-Trump coalition. He had to quickly dial it back when it turned out he had sprinted ahead of the pack and is now being carted around in the baggage car of international politics. Putting aside those disgraceful accusations against the U.S. president—from the prime minister, who called the U.S. president a Russian spy; from Mr. Klich, sent there as acting ambassador, who suggested that Trump is mentally ill; and from the wife of the foreign minister, who compared him to Hitler or Stalin,” he recalled, adding: “Now, even if they wanted to steer foreign policy in that direction, there’s no place for them anymore. Too much has been said, too much has happened.”
