– Firstly, such a summit was not planned for the time of Poland’s presidency. The question is whether there is room for a United States – European Union summit today, or if it’s better to continue these bilateral relations, which Poland currently has good ones with – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TVN24, when asked about the absence of an EU-US summit in Warsaw despite Poland’s EU presidency.

– There is a new administration that is still defining its strategy towards the entire European Union. As we can see, some meetings, after President [Zelenskyy’s] meeting [with Donald Trump], are better left unheld than to end in bad decisions – he continued.

– I believe that today Poland holds such a strong position in the United States […] that we have our bargaining chips and our arguments for discussions. Let’s focus more on bilateral relations, also on behalf of the Union, because this can benefit the Union, rather than a meeting with those European countries with whom the current American administration maintains a much greater distance – he added.

– Surely, among all European Union member states, Poland has the best relations with the United States today – he concluded.
