Duda and Tusk in the USA. What will they talk to Biden about?
The US ambassador to Poland, Mark Brzezinski, spoke about the visit of the prime minister and president to Washington in an interview with “Fakt”. The diplomat emphasized that this was a “unique and important” event. – It will be a celebration of the risk taken 25 years ago – NATO's expansion to join new countries from the post-communist region in order to improve our collective security – he emphasized. – It was Joe Biden who led the preparation of the act expanding the Alliance to introduce Poland to NATO. Therefore, President Biden has been personally involved in the expansion of NATO and the defense of Poland for years – he reminded.
– Trade between the United States and Poland is growing. I think we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg on this topic. More business is on the way. This is an important milestone in US-Polish relations. There is no more valuable space in the US president's agenda for March 2024 than the visit of the Polish authorities. Poland got this slot. Congratulations, President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk – said the ambassador.
