Andrzej Duda: Donald Trump will end Russian aggression. I am convinced of this

– I expect a very decisive, but on the other hand very pragmatic policy, definitely focused on the interests of the United States. This does not mean – as some people think – that it will be a bad time for the free world, for those who want to cooperate with each other, who want to do business together. On the contrary, President Duda said in an interview, commenting on changes in American policy after the inauguration of the new president USAthe law firm reported on the X platform.

Reporting the interview on the KPRP website, she noted that Duda assessed that the beginning of Trump's presidency “will be a time of economic competition in which the United States wants to participate, but on a partnership basis – perhaps fierce competition, but still fair.”

Duda also said that he completely disagrees with the fact that the US president “is skeptical about NATO or the American presence in the Alliance.” “As he added, such claims by political commentators result largely from ignorance of the specific nature of the American leader's policy and his approach to Alliance affairs,” his office quoted the president as saying.

When I met with the President last April Donald Trump – I visited him in Trump Tower in New York – we had a nice, long and very interesting conversation about the issue of increasing defense spending in NATO countries and the need to raise them to 3%. As I proposed earlier, President Duda said in an interview for the station.

He also recalled that in a conversation with Trump's predecessor – Joe Biden – last year in the White House he proposed to adopt a rule that defense spending of an allied country should not be lower than 3%. GDP.

The president commented on the new US administration's announcement of the end war in Ukraine He said he was confident that Donald Trump would fulfill this commitment and “end the Russian invasion.”

– He will certainly do a lot to make this happen to strengthen security – he noted in the material broadcast by the station on Saturday evening.

KPRP, describing the conversation with Al Jazeera television, also cited, among others: statements regarding migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. The president said that the Polish authorities quickly recognized that the hybrid attack in 2021 on the Polish border was an attempt by the Belarusian regime to destabilize the situation through illegal migration. He also reminded that Poland's eastern border is also the border of the European Union and Schengen zoneand the obligation to protect it also results from EU obligations. Duda said that the Polish services “have been diligently guarding our security from the very beginning.”

The president emphasized that Poland is “an open country and everyone needs shelter and help – especially if they are protected from war or persecution, they can find a place here.” However, he pointed out that the condition is compliance with the law and customs in force in Poland and taking up employment – noted the law firm.
