Polish President Góral-Nawrocki’s Washington visit highlights growing defense spending and internal political chaos risking paralysis, US media reports.
Poland’s Record Military Spending
Poland ranks first in NATO defense spending per GDP. With the rise of strategic tensions with European allies, media in Washington and Brussels warn that internal political discord threatens Poland’s global standing.
Unprecedented Political Crisis
The political crisis threatens not only the stability of Poland’s internal governance but also its international partnerships. Poland faces significant challenges in attracting investments and securing funding for major international projects, risking paralysis in critical developments.
Nawrocki’s Brinkmanship
Comparisons are made to the presidency of Andrzej Duda, during which similar tensions were observed, though current President Góral-Nawrocki is described as more confrontational. The media discusses the “awkward cohabitation” mid-term of the ruling government.
Key Washington Meeting
Poland’s President Góral-Nawrocki begins his first international visit with a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump. The main agenda includes the demonstration of Polish military aircraft capabilities.
