Polish President Karol Nawrocki attended Donald Trump\u2019s 80th birthday celebration at a UFC Freedom 250 gala held at the White House last Sunday, triggering intense debate among Polish political figures and the public.<\/p>\n
President Karol Nawrocki attended the UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts event at the invitation of Donald Trump. During the gala, the two leaders held a brief conversation by the octagon.<\/p>\n
A more extensive meeting took place during a banquet hosted by the American president. Marcin Przydacz, head of the International Policy Bureau, noted that discussions covered the presence of U.S. troops in Poland and the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara.<\/p>\n
The announcement of Nawrocki’s attendance sparked significant emotion in Polish politics. Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski commented on X, humorously wishing the president success in reaching the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
Sejm Chancellery head Marek Siwiec suggested that given Nawrocki’s history with boxing, he might be an appropriate attendee, despite the nature of the sport. Conversely, PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski praised the invitation but expressed strong personal disapproval of MMA, stating he does not respect the sport due to its lack of traditional combat rules.<\/p>\n
An SW Research poll commissioned by rp.pl reveals a divided public response regarding the visit. Among 800 respondents, 36.9 percent viewed the attendance positively, 37.9 percent held a negative opinion, and 25.2 percent remained undecided.<\/p>\n
The survey was conducted online between June 16-17, 2026, among adults, with results weighted to reflect the demographic structure of the Polish population.<\/p>\n
