Poland’s Newly Elected President, Backed by Trump, Pays First Visit to the White House

Poland seeks to maintain and possibly expand U.S. military presence amid ongoing Ukraine conflict; about 8,200 American troops currently stationed, reflecting strong bilateral security ties.

  • President Donald Trump hosted Poland's newly elected President Karol Nawrocki at the White House on Sept. 3, 2025, during Nawrocki's first overseas trip since taking office last month to deepen ties and advocate for continued U.S. military presence.
  • Before the White House meeting, President Donald Trump had endorsed Karol Nawrocki, Poland's newly elected president, who has clashed with Prime Minister Donald Tusk and vetoed refugee-benefit measures last month.
  • The White House marked Nawrocki's arrival with a flyover featuring a `missing-man formation` to honor Polish F-16 pilot Maciej Krakowian, while about 8,200 American troops remain stationed in Poland.
  • Trump offered to expand the U.S. military footprint in Poland, saying `we'll put more there if they want`, while analyst Peter Doran said the visit carries high stakes and Nawrocki thanked Trump and greeted Polish Americans.
  • With peacemaking stalled, Trump and Nawrocki discussed Ukraine as Russia and Belarus prepare joint military exercises this month, increasing tension along NATO's eastern flank amid U.S. force debates.
