The first, in fact the second "date". After all, Karol Nawrocki was already in Washington erstwhile he campaigned before the presidential election. All that's left of this visit is simply a photograph of Donald Trump. At the time, as a PiS candidate, he could not explain why he actually appeared in the White House.
Visit of president Nawrocki to the USA
Shortly after Nawrocki's oath, it was announced that the president would pay a visit to the United States on September 3. And in fact, this journey will be like that first "date" with Trump due to the fact that he's going to go there no longer as a candidate in the election, but as the head of state.
– Then you want to do the best you can, introduce yourself, find elements that connect both sides, but not necessarily talk about hard subjects. Without any key declarations for the future, she emphasizes for the Temat Magdalena Górnicka-Partyka, an expert on communication in American politics, author of the podcast "Stan Wyborczy".
The problem is that for now more than just flying to Washington, we're talking about how much Charles Nawrocki... doesn't get along with Donald Tusk's government. President's spokesperson Rafał Leśkiewicz called the letter "a joke" from the Ministry of abroad Affairs, which contained key issues related to the visit to the US. In turn, the spokesperson for the ministry of diplomacy Paweł Wroński defended that it was only a brief position of the government.
The text was late released in Channel Zero. Radosław Sikorski himself immediately criticized it and hit Nawrocki's advisors. "The state of the Government for the President's visit to the United States was not formally classified, but at the place of the head of state I would have checked which of his advisors was specified a fool. On the another hand, we all know what matters the president can represent the full Polish state and in which he can represent himself" – wrote the head of the MFA on platform X.
So there was a serious gnash, and more directly, a leak. – The issue of handing over the arrangements on the card to the president is simply played. Data has been disclosed and this shows poorly Poland and politicians who are liable for leaks. This weakens Poland's position – says prof. Tomasz Prudowski, American and political scientist.
In his opinion, this should not be the subject of any dispute at all, due to the fact that this does not mean that no longer a paper has been produced. – There is simply a definite deficiency of goodwill, especially on the side of the president's surroundings. due to the fact that there was a leak there, so it is on the side of the representatives of his surroundings that there are unstated behaviours – points out the American.
The key gathering lacked Poland
Meanwhile, it seemed that Nawrocks or Tusk might appear in the White home before September 3. A delegation of European leaders came to Trump, who presented a common position on the war in Ukraine. This was already after the US President's gathering with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
But among the representatives of the European delegation there was yet no 1 from Poland. It ended with common charges in our own backyard, who could actually represent Poland. If there was an invitation from the American administration. In the end, neither our president nor the Prime Minister flew.
Let us recall, at a peculiar gathering in the White House, in addition to Volodymyr Zelenski, there were: Ursula von der Leyen (the head of the EC), Giorgia Meloni (the Prime Minister of Italy), Emmanuel Macron (the president of France), Friedrich Merz (the Chancellor of Germany), Keir Starmer (the Prime Minister of large Britain) and Alexander Stubb (the president of Finland).
– Trump now has close relations with the president of Finland, who has advanced in the European League of Leaders. He is simply a small Trump charmer," notes Magdalena Górnicka-Parkyka. – He played golf with him, they connect a lot and built specified relationships that let for a much better position of Finland at the negotiating table with Trump. I believe that this is besides to be served by a Polish visit to Washington. This is the minute erstwhile Poland has a chance to build its position again – he adds.
Nawrocki's surroundings stressed that a visit to the US scheduled for September 3 is crucial for them. It is said that the most crucial issues are the presence of American soldiers in Poland, arms contracts and economical cooperation. This was confirmed by Nawrocki's spokesperson for money.pl.
The subject of the taboo is the digital tax. Here is simply a unique agreement – the Presidential Palace and the government want to avoid it. But what will Charles Nawrocki be able to play in Washington? And how does his gathering with Trump go?
– The president and the Prime Minister have another ideas for Polish-American politics and it seems that the politicians associated with the Law and Justice are ready for much greater concessions and departure from typical negotiations. The Law and Justice Office is anti-EU and thus restricts its scope for manoeuvre – says Prof. Płudowski.
In turn the author of the podcast "Stan Wyborczy" indicates that the political environment of Polish and American president is close. “The environment of Karol Nawrocki has close relations with Susie Wiles, the White home chief of staff, who is 1 of the most crucial figures in the American President’s galaxy. There is closeness of co-workers and ideological closeness. This indicates that both politicians can get along well – he explains.
Karol Nawrocki... and Andrzej Duda. Which will be more effective?
There's not 1 answer to that question yet. – The bar is highly suspended by Andrzej Duda, whom Donald Trump liked and had very good relations with him. It can be said that president Duda was very helpful in Trump's campaign. He came to Trump Tower the minute Donald Trump was a small trapped in fresh York City erstwhile his fresh York trial was taking place. He could not run a average run – convinces Górnicka-Park.
Prof. Płudowski notes that Karol Nawrocki has no experience in this area so far, and so there is no basis to justice him. – Based on the competences of erstwhile ones, erstwhile it comes to English or global affairs, at this phase it is on a akin level as Andrzej Duda erstwhile he started his first term. possibly even the erstwhile president was somewhat better prepared in connection with the academic episode – he recalls.
At the same time, he estimates that Karol Nawrocki has a stronger personality. He's more assertive, but in his relation with Trump, it can only hurt. He likes people who have cards in their hands, and Poland has no crucial cards in its hands, but possibly strong European relations. For Trump, for example, he is simply a leader of a state that has atomic weapons, even an authoritarian leader. He can look at the leaders of European countries, in which many institutions and lengthy democratic processes decide, with reluctance, boredom and disregard,” says the American man.
He adds: "For now there is no reason to presume that president Nawrocki could accomplish much beyond buying equipment without negotiations. I think Trump might like it as an outsider, a rookie who stormed into politics.
Our interviewer points to another component that is somewhat different from politics and all the tensions associated with the planned visit.
– This will be an crucial visit if Karol Nawrocki provides a good tv show. Let us remember that all visits by abroad leaders are a show for Trump in which he must be well. If this works, this visit will take on more meaning due to the fact that Trump will be able to usage it for his political purposes. Trump loves this kind of situation to show that diplomacy is not conducted behind closed doors, but in a transparent and open way to American voters," says Górnicka-Partyka.
Let us remind you that Nawrocki and Tusk were scheduled to hold an informal gathering on 1 September concerning the President's visit to the US. They were both at the celebrations at Westerplatte. Their conversation was reported to have lasted respective minutes.
– They met at the margins of the ceremony on Westerplatte, the Prime Minister asked for a minute of conversation, they talked. besides about the United States. The president talked about his visit to the US a fewer days ago, among others, with the Prime Minister of Denmark, so it is hard for him to refuse the Polish Prime Minister – 1 of the presidential ministers passed on to Virtual Poland.
