– There will be no one from Poland [at the White House]. We have conveyed, Prime Minister Sikorski conveyed yesterday in a conversation with European envoys, our agreed position – settled during a videoconference he participated in – and they will speak about it. The format is unknown; it appears it will be a working dinner or something similar with European envoys, but one-on-one discussions will take place first – stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News’s "Graffiti."

Asked whether this wasn't a failure of Polish diplomacy, the Deputy Foreign Minister replied: – We participated with exactly the same individuals in the preparatory talks. President Trump extends invitations to Washington. As can be seen, he did not invite President Nawrocki or Prime Minister Tusk. However, typically, the US President meets with leaders. With the exception of prime ministers from the largest countries – such as Germany (i.e., the German Chancellor), the Prime Minister of Great Britain (who is, after all, the USA's closest ally), and the Prime Ministers of Italy and Israel – he does not generally invite prime ministers.

– Previous US presidents normally did not meet with Polish prime ministers. Poland is a medium-sized country and does not have the same international standing as Germany or Great Britain. That's reality – he added.
