New Polish president who was endorsed by Trump is making his first White House visit
September 2, 2025
Newly inaugurated Polish President Karol Nawrocki is set to visit the White House just months after President Donald Trump took the unusual step of weighing into Poland’s election and endorsing the nationalist politician. With Wednesday’s visit, Nawrocki is looking to strengthen his relationship with Trump and make the case that the U.S. needs to maintain its strong military presence in his country. Some key advisers in the Republican administration have advocated for shifting U.S. troops and military from Europe to the Indo-Pacific with China’s lock as the United States’ most significant strategic and economic competitor. Roughly 10,000 American troops are stationed in Poland on a rotational basis.
