Overview

  • Trump greeted Nawrocki with an Oval Office meeting and private lunch following a flyover honoring a Polish F-16 pilot killed last week.
  • Discussions focused on Ukraine and Poland’s push to keep or increase the roughly 8,000–10,000 U.S. troops rotating through the country.
  • Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Vladimir Putin and indicated his team is weighing steps to cut wartime deaths as his bid to spur talks stalls.
  • Poland sought deeper energy and defense ties, with analysts expecting pressure for additional U.S. arms sales and potential industrial cooperation.
  • The visit highlighted rifts in Warsaw, with no Foreign Ministry officials in the presidential delegation and a leaked government memo exposing tensions with Tusk’s camp.
