Poland is not alone on this path: what does Duda’s meeting with Trump mean?

Donald Trump met on April 17 with Polish President Andrzej Duda to discuss the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. In this way, Poland is trying to strengthen its friendship with the ex-president of the United States.

This opinion Political scientist Oleg Sahakyan spoke to Channel 24, noting that many EU countries are now trying to intensify, or, conversely, minimize their friendship with Trump. This is very important for the Republican leader to enhance his reputation.

Activating relationships

According to Sahakyan, this meeting is an externally political diversification. Poland is trying to intensify its relations with the United States, in particular with Trump. During Trump's presidency, Poland became one of the key partners in Europe.

Then there was an increase in cooperation and now these old contacts decided to clean up in order to establish a dialogue with the new potential arrival of Trump,” the political scientist noted.

Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is more oriented towards Eurocentrism and the Joe Biden administration is closer to him, and Duda has every opportunity to work with Trump.

“Thus, the Polish political elites take advantage of their internal political difficulties to strengthen Poland outside . What is their complexity becomes their strength in the external arena,” added Sahakyan.

Frivolous meetings

In the Polish case, according to the political scientist, there is no need to concentrate on what exactly was said. Any agreements that can be reached now by Trump will not be sustainable and will not be about something concrete and big.

Not only Poland

The political scientist also drew attention to the fact that Poland is not the only one on this path; there are a number of other European leaders who are also looking for contacts with Trump: there is some activity in Finland in this direction, and Boris Johnson has flown to the USA several times. His personal contacts can be used for Britain. It is worth remembering the President of Argentina Javier Miley, who is a good mechanism for Ukraine for contacts with the Trumpist part of politicians.

What is important to Trump

For Trump, it is now important to get such meetings with as many leaders as possible in order to demonstrate his influence on the world stage and that he is chosen not only as a protest within the United States, but also that he is recognized internationally in high status.

For others “this is an opportunity to diversify risks for yourself, restore or establish new contacts with the Trump team,” Sahakyan noted.
