President Nawrocki: Only Trump can stop Putin's Russia in 2026

He's shaking hands, but his fist is still clenched. Poland's President Karol Nawrocki has declared that Donald Trump is the only world leader capable of halting Vladimir Putin's aggression in Europe. In an interview with the BBC, Nawrocki argued that while the Russian leader can't be trusted, Europe must throw its weight behind Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Poland has been locked in a state of hybrid warfare with Russia since 2021, battling drones and disinformation. Nawrocki highlighted a massive incursion last September, where over 20 Russian drones crossed into Polish territory. This unprecedented attack was a test of NATO solidarity. In response, Warsaw is now spending nearly 5% of its GDP on defense, far outpacing its European neighbors.

Greenland Turmoil and the Critique of European Priorities

Despite the diplomatic tremors caused by Trump's interest in Greenland, Nawrocki remains a staunch ally. He dismissed the controversy as a matter for Denmark and the US to resolve through dialogue. More pointedly, he criticized EU leaders for focusing on "ideological issues" like the Green Deal and migration instead of building hard security. He praised the UK for deploying RAF Typhoon jets to his borders, reinforcing that the US remains the ultimate guarantor of European security.
