Overview
- Ambassador Tom Rose said on X the United States will have no further dealings with Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty, calling his comments about President Trump "outrageous and unprovoked."
- Czarzasty rejected efforts to nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize and criticized what he called a policy of force and transactional diplomacy, later saying he respects the U.S. but will not change his stance.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk publicly told Rose that allies should respect rather than lecture each other, and Rose replied by defending Trump and, in one online exchange, even questioning the U.S. troop presence in Poland.
- Poland’s president and opposition figures moved to scrutinize Czarzasty’s alleged eastern business and social contacts, allegations he denies as politically motivated.
- Despite the heated exchanges, there have been no announced changes to broader U.S.–Poland military or security cooperation.
