Donald Trump was the destination for the first foreign journey undertaken by the Polish President, yet it's evident that the United States can be an untrustworthy partner.

Decision remains pending with the Commission.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk continues to advocate for joint European solutions, a stance that aligns with the government's foreign policy line. However, his efforts contrast sharply with those of the Polish President, Karol Nawrocki, who is pursuing nationalist interests that deviate from this policy.

Recently, Nawrocki made an official visit to the USA to meet with President Donald Trump. While the details of their discussions remain unclear, Nawrocki celebrated the Americans' readiness as his sole achievement from the meeting. Contrarily, Trump's promises about further US support for Poland are vague, and the reliability of Trump as a partner for Poland remains uncertain.

The deployment of more US troops in Poland, a move agreed upon during the meeting, addresses Polish concerns about troop withdrawal. However, the likelihood of this decision being due to decades of diplomacy, not Nawrocki's efforts, is a point of contention.

Meanwhile, Tusk, who discussed political solutions for a secure Europe with the White House and other members of the "Coalition of the Willing" in Paris, has been working towards a more united Europe. Despite the ongoing deployment of more US troops, the reliability of Trump as a partner for Poland remains uncertain, causing concern among those who support Tusk's European-focused approach.

Nawrocki's nationalism has recently affected Ukrainian refugees in Poland, as he blocked further financial aid for families with his veto. This action has been met with criticism, as it goes against the principles of unity and cooperation that Tusk seeks to uphold.

Nawrocki aspires to be "the voice of the Polish nation," but his actions please Russian President Vladimir Putin, who observes every crack in the European community. This raises questions about the long-term implications of Nawrocki's policies for Poland's relationships with its European neighbours.

For those seeking opposing perspectives within a very broad left-wing spectrum, our independent, left-wing, and opinionated daily newspaper has been advocating since its foundation in 1979. As the situation in Poland continues to evolve, it is crucial to stay informed and engaged in the ongoing debate about the country's future.
