Tusk on His Relationship with Trump:

We Never Had Chemistry.

- I can’t call a joint phone call with several European leaders a conversation. We had three such situations, one in Kyiv, one in Paris. However, a one-on-one conversation or in a small, direct group, that happened when I was President of the European Council - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on the podcast “WojewódzkiKędzierski,” when asked when he last spoke with Donald Trump.

- We never had chemistry. My opinions on President Trump’s policies were also known earlier. This is a very delicate matter. Many leaders around the world have learned to remain silent about various things they don't like. Because, you know, there’s calculation, a balance of power, etc. - he continued.

- I am doing everything I can not to harm Polish-American relations. And here, things are really okay. If it’s a certain inconvenience for me that President Trump is not my fan, let’s call it that - and vice versa, I am also not a fan of President Trump - but this probably affects the essence of Polish-American relations to the slightest degree, i.e., the issue of military cooperation or mutual business - he stated.
