Polish President Andrzej Duda plans to travel to the United States. There he intends to meet with President-elect Donald Trump and talk about Ukraine, says Polish Prime-Minister Donald Tusk.

Tusk noted that the day before, Duda had informed him of “his possible meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump” and the need to coordinate the joint position of the president and the Council of Ministers of Poland for the talks in Washington.

“The president warned that his visit to the United States is possible in the near future. I will keep my fingers crossed for him, because regardless of the differences in views and the fact that President Duda's presidential term is coming to an end soon, he has invested a lot in establishing good relations with Trump, and we can use this together for Polish-American conversations, especially in the context of Ukraine,” Tusk emphasized.

The Polish President's office has not yet officially announced a meeting between Duda and Trump planned for the near future.

Yesterday, Gazeta Wyborcza reported that President Andrzej Duda would fly to the United States at about ten o'clock in the evening to meet with Trump.

However, Duda did not go to the United States.

Elections were held in the United States this week. Republican Donald Trump won the election, and his Republican Party gained a majority in the Senate.
