Tusk:

Just Before Midnight, We Received Information That the US Prefers a President Representing Poland in Relations with President Trump

- Messrs. Tomczyk and Szłapka did not misinform the public opinion [...]. Regardless of the fact that constitutionally foreign policy in Poland is conducted by the government, not the president, but for various reasons and more due to American tradition and attachment to the idea of presidential power, just as President Biden, just as President Obama, they preferred relations at the presidential level - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference. - Just before midnight yesterday, we received information, and our European partners as well, that the American side would prefer a president representing Poland in relations with President Trump - he continued. - For me, it is very important that in such a situation it never becomes a method of playing Poles against each other. However, I am ready to respect this American habit that they prefer to communicate at the presidential level, and for this, cooperation between me and President Duda is needed, and an intensive exchange of information, so that the fact that Americans prefer contacts at the presidential level does not harm our interests - he went on to say.
