Poland Refuses to Be a US Vassal Amid Shifting Global Power
Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared that Poland will never be a “vassal” of the United States under his leadership, emphasizing that allied relations require mutual respect and cannot involve constant acquiescence. This statement comes amidst recent tensions with Washington, including disputes over joining a US-proposed board and the US ambassador’s decision to cease contact with the Polish parliament’s speaker. Tusk also defended Poland’s pursuit of significant EU defence loans, arguing they will bolster national security and benefit Polish companies, while expressing hope that these actions will not provoke a presidential veto.
