Trump Hosts Polish President Nawrocki at White House Amid Ukraine Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Poland’s new nationalist President Karol Nawrocki at the White House to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine and reinforce U.S.-Polish relations. Nawrocki, a fervent Trump supporter who recently won the Polish presidential election, is seeking continued U.S. backing amid Poland’s important role as a NATO and EU member supporting Ukraine with military and humanitarian aid. The meeting included a flyover honoring a Polish F-16 pilot killed recently, symbolizing the close ties between the two countries. While Trump has pushed for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, these efforts have so far stalled, with Russian President Vladimir Putin vowing to continue fighting if no deal is reached. Nawrocki’s visit also aims to secure U.S. military presence in Poland and counterbalance Poland’s internal political polarization between nationalist and pro-EU factions. The discussions underscore Warsaw’s strategic importance and the complex dynamics of U.S. involvement in Eastern European security.
