President Andrzej Duda emphasized that he would discuss Ukraine with newly-elected US President Donald Trump. “I am confident in this conversation with President Donald Trump going forward. And I am also calm about the political decisions that President Donald Trump will make because I have no doubt that they will be wise decisions, he said. The Polish head of state made an extremely interesting comment. “President Donald Trump, I cannot imagine that he would allow Russia to destroy Ukraine, in which the United States, in which the American taxpayer (…) has invested such enormous amounts of money. “It’s a matter of respect for American taxpayers’ money, and it’s also a matter of America getting involved and America not losing,” he said.
Trump and Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who has been in office since early October, visited Warsaw, where he met Prime Minister Donald Tusk and then President Andrzej Duda. During the press conference after the second meeting, both leaders were asked for information about politicians who will join the future cabinet of newly-elected US President Donald Trump. There was also a question about Donald Trump’s policy towards Ukraine.
Of course, I don’t know, I can’t answer this today, what detailed policy will be pursued towards Ukrainian President Donald Trump. I don’t know the answer to this question. Especially since the president has not yet taken office and has not officially announced this policy anywhere
– replied President Andrzej Duda.
There are various rumors and rumors in the media, but I know President Donald Trump well enough, especially from the period of his first presidential term, when I really worked closely with him. Moreover, we had a long talk in New York in April, including: about Ukraine and I will smile and say yes
– he continued.
But I know President Donald Trump and your editor also knows President Donald Trump (…). We know that President Donald Trump as a person is certainly a successful man, a born fighter, he likes to fight and above all he doesn’t like to lose. He is the winner, as the last elections in the United States also showed
– Andrzej Duda commented.
“‘America won’t lose’
As he emphasized, “President Donald Trump deeply respects, and we know this, American taxpayers’ money.”
He talked about it often and emphasized it often. Personally, I have often heard him talk at the NATO forum about the fact that all these burdens and expenses that the United States is taking on are money that is being collected by American taxpayers in the American budget. It is his responsibility to respect this money
– he added.
If we take this into account, if we consider how much the United States has already invested in helping Ukraine, how huge amounts of money have been transferred to the Ukrainian defenders in the form of various forms of combat equipment and financial aid, so that Ukraine can survive. and defend themselves, then my conclusions are unequivocal
– continued the President of the Republic of Poland.
President Donald Trump, I cannot imagine that he would allow Russia to destroy Ukraine, a Ukraine in which the United States, in which the American taxpayer, for whose money President Donald Trump will soon be responsible if he comes to power, such has invested enormous amounts of money. It’s a matter of respecting American taxpayers’ money and it’s also a matter of including America and not losing America.
– said Andrzej Duda.
Conversation with Trump
The president emphasized that he would talk to President Donald Trump about Ukraine.
I will present my position and present the situation as we see it, here the neighbors of Ukraine, who are directly in the area of this ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, I will of course not only present in the context of the situation in Ukraine itself , but also of the situation in our part of Europe, our position, the position of our neighbors (…). As well as in this context of American interests
– he said.
I have confidence in this conversation with President Donald Trump in the future. And I am also calm about the political decisions that President Donald Trump will make, because I have no doubt that they will be wise decisions.
– said President Andrzej Duda.
