Andrzej Duda and Donald Trump are old allies, and they are connected by a good personal relationship.

According to the President of Lithuania, Andrzej Duda successfully interceded for Ukraine with the former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Last Wednesday, the Polish president held talks with the American politician in his luxury apartment in Trump Tower, and they discussed the war in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the commitments of NATO member states.

Euractiv reminds us: Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was skeptical about whether Trump could be convinced on the issue of Ukraine, but he hoped that Duda would be able to make him understand that if he is re-elected president in November, he "must stick with the Western world and Europe" on this issue too.

As is known, Donald Trump has made several statements from which it can be concluded that if he is elected, his priority would be to end the war quickly, which would probably include stopping the US aid to Ukraine.

This is somewhat contradicted by the development that took place over the weekend: the Republicans finally agreed, and thus President Biden's new $60 billion military support package for Ukraine passed in the US House of Representatives.

According to Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda, last week's visit to Duda was successful, and according to the signs, Trump has changed his position on Ukraine.

"I keep seeing the different rhetoric of Donald Trump and the determination of the American authorities to make the necessary and long-awaited decisions. I believe that President Duda's visit and his meeting with Trump brought about a positive change, I am satisfied with Andrzej Duda's intervention," said the Lithuanian president.

According to the EU newspaper, Trump makes contradictory statements regarding Ukraine: he did not support the vote for the latest aid of 60 billion dollars, but at the same time

A day after his meeting with President Duda, he posted on his social media platform Social Social that the survival of Ukraine is important to the United States.

Duda and Trump are long-time allies, and they are connected by a good personal relationship - Poland, together with the Baltic states, is the most committed supporter of Ukraine, and Warsaw is convinced that the Russian threat poses an immediate threat not only to the security of Ukraine, but also to Europe.
