President Donald Trump suggested the United States could increase the number of armed forces stationed in Poland and said, "We're with Poland all the way," offering to help Poland protect itself. Polish President Karol Nawrocki expressed gratitude for the commitment to continued cooperation and emphasized the importance of relations for Poland and Poles. Trump signaled a shift from his prior insistence that European nations take greater responsibility for their own security. He expressed frustration with diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine and hinted at measures to pressure President Vladimir Putin if no progress occurs. European allies urged tougher sanctions and sought details on a Ukrainian security guarantee, while Western commitments remained vague.
We'll put more there if they want, he said in the Oval Office. We're with Poland all the way, and we'll help Poland protect itself. Nawrocki, a right-wing historian and avid Trump ally who was sworn in as Poland's new president last month, thanked Trump for his commitment to continued cooperation with his country. Those relations for me, for Poland, for Poles, are very important, he said.
Trump continues to express frustration over diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine that have thus far produced few results. The US president hinted at possible measures to put greater pressure on Russia if no progress is made, saying that you'll see things happen if Russian President Vladimir Putin fails to take steps towards a peace deal. I have no message to President Putin. He knows where I stand, and he'll make a decision one way or the other, he said.
