– We will not hesitate to favour Polish companies on this occasion. Economic nationalism is truly nothing bad. We are building an army that Poland has not had for centuries. Super strong and modern. An army for winning; Poland's voice in Europe has not sounded this strong for ages. Poland is respected and listened to. Nothing significant can be arranged in Europe without Poland – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in his address.

– Does this mean our Polish dream will once again be taken away from us? Should we be afraid? No. We must be strong. Reading our history is often accompanied by sighs: oh, if only we had more time, a few more years, one more decade, again. Not this time. This time, we are ready. This year marks 1000 years since the coronation of Bolesław the Brave. Poland is a 1000-year-old state that everyone must reckon with – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in his address.

– Our anniversary is a year of breakthrough. Paying homage to Bolesław the Brave, we are introducing the Piast doctrine of regional power. The strongest economy, the strongest army, a voice in Europe. This requires courage, strength, and skill. That’s all that could be said, because we have it all. Poland’s potential is undeniable, and we know how to unleash it, we know what to do – said the head of government.

– We will expand Polish industry, we will cooperate with entrepreneurs, we will remove the barriers that hinder them, all those that can be removed. We will engage Polish science and new technologies in the country’s development on an unprecedented scale. The symbol of this technological leap will be the first Pole in space in nearly half a century – he continued.

– I thank the White House for the invitation, as I received an official invitation to this visit, to this event, but also for this series of very interesting conversations. Poland today needs certainty, Polish-American relations, that the future president will take care of Polish-American relations, because the government of Poland, led by Donald Tusk, has brought these relations to a difficult situation, which has resonated and resonated during my visit to the White House – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– It was an opportunity for me to present my demands, my programs, my vision of international policy as a candidate for the office of President of Poland. Above all, it was a chance to show many important people, secretaries, how I view international relations, Poland’s role, and Poland's relationship with the USA – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– What is interesting, and what I want to emphasize, is that I gained the impression from these meetings and discussions that congressmen and secretaries are fully aware of what is happening in Poland regarding the justice system and the violation of the rule of law in the Polish state. I spoke about this, but I honestly admit to the Polish public that among the questions I was asked, waiting for confirmation of whether this was indeed the case, one of the recurring questions was about the subsidy for a presidential candidate, and in effect, for the largest political party in the Polish parliament – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– Information is reaching the White House about these attacks on TV Republika, that these elections are simply unfair. I must admit, with surprise, that I listened to these voices. These were raised by congressmen and people I spoke with, meaning this information reaches the White House – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– I did not speak with Donald Trump today; it was not on the agenda for today's meeting. As you know, a lot happened at the White House today – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– Polish-American relations will be stable when I am president of the Polish state – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.

– Today, the President of the Republic of Poland is Andrzej Duda, who is the sole guarantor of serious, stable Polish-American relations. However, we are discussing the context of what will happen when Donald Tusk's deputy, who called Donald Trump a Russian agent, aimed at his back, and rejoiced in it, becomes president – he continued.

– In one of the conversations, an advisor to Donald Trump clearly signaled that he was aware of the case involving the late Barbara [Skrzypek], the non-admission of her representative to the discussion, and the tragic outcome of this event. So he also referred to this in his question, asking me if such situations indeed occur in Poland – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in front of the White House.
