Duda called on the United States to move its nuclear warheads in Poland
Poland has already declared a willingness to accept US nuclear weapons under the NATO Nuclear Nuclear Sharing Program. Polish politicians have recently shown interest in the idea of French President Emmanuel Macron to expand the French nuclear shield to European allies.
« NATO's borders moved east in 1999, so 26 years later there should be a movement of NATO infrastructure in this direction. This is obvious to me, » Duda said in an interview with FT. |

He added that it would be safer if these weapons were already in Polish territory.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who is a political opponent of Duda, commented on Thursday that such issues are better discussed discreetly rather than through media statements. However, Tusk stressed that he believed in the president's good intentions.
« We need to take public expectations only when we are sure or have reason to believe that such calls will be heard and that in this case the US administration, President Trump, is ready for a positive response, » Tusk told reporters. |
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine three years ago, Poland drastically increased its defense costs and is currently devoting a greater share of its GDP for military needs from any other NATO member, including the United States.
