We talked very specifically about Polish-American relations. The ambassador was very interested in the position of the new coalition regarding Poland’s relations within the European Union, but also with our German neighbor and Ukraine. Due to the strong support and presence of American forces in the region, we also discussed security
— Michał Kobosko told PAP after the meeting.
As he emphasized, cooperation with the US is multi-sectoral and of crucial importance for Poland.
The US closely monitors relations between countries within the EU. The ambassador clearly said that from the American point of view, the situation to be strived for is harmonious cooperation within the EU, including Poland’s active position within the EU and avoiding the emergence of new conflicts in intra-EU relations. This is very important for Americans
– noted the MP. As he added, both Marshal Hołownia and the entire Polish 2050 Club share this opinion.
We also discussed energy-related issues. We are facing very important decisions regarding the development of Polish nuclear energy and the first American investment, which will begin soon. For all of Poland in 2050, but also for Mr Marshal, changing the Polish energy mix towards renewable energy sources is very important and we will move in this direction.
– Kobosko emphasized.
At the same time, he said that it will be clear for Poland in 2050 that nuclear energy – both large, older reactors and smaller SMRs – is an important part of the energy mix. According to him, Poland is lagging behind in this area.
This must be addressed responsibly. We will develop this sector because we are in a situation where we face shortages of electricity, energy sources and heating. Therefore, the government will treat this as a priority

A topic of conversation
The Polish 2050 MP said that parliamentary cooperation between Poland and the US was also among the topics of discussion.
The ambassador said that many members of the US Congress would like to meet the Marshal and visit Poland. Mr. Marshal assured that they will always be welcome in the Polish Sejm. Parliamentary cooperation between the Polish Sejm and the US Congress will be very active
– stated Kobosko.
The MP emphasized that the conversation with the US ambassador was transversal and friendly.
We spoke as friends, which is clear, because Poland and the US are partners and this will not change under the rule of the new coalition
– assured the MP.
Should the fact that the Polish-American alliance is preserved be seen as a success of the new parliamentary majority? If so, we will soon have to applaud every activity of Szymon Hołownia.
