“Donald, we will defend freedom and democracy together. Anytime, anywhere” – these are the words US President Joe Biden is said to have uttered during a brief meeting with Civic Platform chairman Donald Tusk. It is not known whether the meeting between Tusk and Biden was immortalized in the photo. One of the newspapers immortalized the moment of Tusk’s meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda.
Visit from President Biden
After US President Joe Biden finished his speech at the Kubicki Arcades and went to spend the night at the Mariott Hotel in Warsaw, social media reported that the US leader met with opposition politicians after his speech to Poland: the President of PO, former Prime Minister of Poland, and in 2014-2019 Head of the European Council – Donald Tusk, Mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski and President of the Senate Tomasz Grodzki. Earlier, Biden’s meeting with opposition politicians was announced on Twitter by Tomasz Lis, Roman Giertych and Radoslaw Sikorski, among others.
Tomasz Grodzki and Rafał Trzaskowski boasted in the photo with the President of the United States.
Tusk’s entry
However, it is not known whether Donald Tusk has also been photographed with Joe Biden. The PO leader shared information about what the US president had to tell him.
Joe Biden succinctly: Donald, we will defend freedom and democracy in solidarity. Always and everywhere
Tusk wrote on Twitter.
And so the marshal of the senate and the governor of the capital informed about their meeting with the US president:
We are extremely proud that the President of the United States, as the leader of the free world united in support of Ukraine, has visited Poland for the second time in a year. Talking to Joe Biden @POTUS has been an honor and honor for me
Meeting with President @JoeBiden after his speech at @warszawa. It is important that he reaffirmed the strength of our alliances and the unity of the free world. We stand together on the side of values, freedom and democracy. Nice to have you back in Warsaw, Mr. President!
An unusual encounter
Although Donald Tusk did not boast about a photo of a short (as determined by the wPolityce.pl portal – each lasted a maximum of 30 seconds) meeting with the American leader, his meeting with the president was also immortalized in the photo. Only it was the Polish president Andrzej Duda who at some point (perhaps after the speech of the American leader) approached the PO chairman and shook his hand. The situation was immortalized in a photo and briefly described by the daily newspaper “Fact”.
The PO leader looked surprised and genuinely pleased with the gesture of the president. PiS Secretary General Krzysztof Sobolewski viewed the situation with a frosty face
– we read in the tabloid.
