U.S. President Donald Trump will welcome Polish President Karol Nawrocki back to the White House on Wednesday after backing the conservative nationalist in Polish elections, with their meeting likely to focus on Russia's war in Ukraine and energy security.
Trump invited Nawrocki to the White House shortly after the Polish leader’s inauguration in early August, showing support for the conservative nationalist in Poland’s recent elections.
The two previously met in May, when Trump intervened to ensure Nawrocki joined a key call with European leaders on Ukraine.
Wednesday's talks are expected to center on stalled negotiations to end the war and Poland's security concerns, amid signs that Trump has grown frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin for failing to move forward on ending the war.
Analysts note that Trump’s approach may focus on transactional goals, including boosting U.S. arms sales and strengthening the Three Seas Initiative, which aims to enhance energy, transport, and digital infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe.
Experts say this meeting could also offer opportunities for joint ventures to expand Ukraine’s defence capabilities and limit China’s influence in the region.
U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out ordering a mission to capture Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he is confident the war in Ukraine can be brought to an end.
