France and Poland will sign a groundbreaking treaty on Friday to deepen cooperation on defence and energy, signaling a growing alignment among European nations.
In a significant move toward strengthening intra-European security, France and Poland are set to sign a bilateral treaty on Friday that enhances defence collaboration and energy coordination. The agreement comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over continued U.S. military support for Europe.
The treaty, which includes provisions for mutual defence in case of an attack, marks France's first such pact with a Central European country, following previous agreements with Germany, Italy, and Spain.
Speaking ahead of his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized the strategic importance of the agreement: “From my experience, the provisions of the treaty are groundbreaking for our safety.” He also suggested the pact could pave the way for Poland to be covered by France’s nuclear umbrella - a topic previously floated by Macron in March.
Despite the deepening Franco-Polish ties, Tusk underscored that the treaty is not a substitute for Poland’s strong alliance with the United States: “We need both America and a strong European Union.”
