Trump invites Nawrocki to White House

US President Donald Trump has invited new Polish President Karol Nawrocki to Washington at the beginning of September, the chief of Nawrocki's cabinet says.

Nawrocki, sworn in as Polish president this week, has on many occasions emphasized the importance of good Polish-US relations.

The new president, whose campaign was backed by Poland's main nationalist opposition party Law and Justice, met Trump in the Oval Office shortly before the Polish election in May and got the US leader's support for his candidacy.

"In an official congratulatory letter delivered on the inauguration day, US President Donald Trump invited Polish President Karol Nawrocki to the White House for an official working meeting on September 3, 2025", Pawel Szefernaker wrote on X.
