In the final stretch of the U.S. election campaign, former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk decided to comment on the choice facing Americans. He spoke about faith in Europe’s strength and… geopolitical outsourcing. “Sir, you’re turning your back on the United States,” responded Tomasz Sakiewicz, ending with a pointed question.
U.S. Elections: Trump or Harris?
Although the official U.S. election day is November 5, voting has been underway for weeks in many states, with early voting in some, like Virginia, beginning over a month ago. According to data collected by NBC News, over 60 million voters had already cast their ballots by mail or in person by Friday. Both Democratic and Republican representatives are confident ahead of Tuesday’s election. However, there can only be one winner.

Sakiewicz to Tusk: Whose “Outsourcing” Are You?
Donald Tusk commented on the upcoming U.S. election today. “Harris or Trump? Some claim that the future of Europe depends on the American elections, while it depends first and foremost on us,” Tusk posted on X. “On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength,” he added. “Whatever the outcome, the era of geopolitical outsourcing is over.”
Tomasz Sakiewicz, the editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Polska” and “Gazeta Polska Codziennie” and president of TV Republika, replied:
“Sir, you are turning your back on the United States. The German press writes that you have poor relations with the German chancellor. The leaders of the world’s greatest powers have ignored you along with the president of Ukraine. In the EU, you are unable to accomplish anything. So whose outsourcing are you?” Sakiewicz wrote.
This is not the only comment on Tusk’s take on the U.S. election. Strong words are being exchanged, with some calling Tusk’s statement scandalous, accusing him of weakening transatlantic relations, and hinting at the creation of a “European superstate.”
