Former US president Donald Trump welcomed Polish president Andrzej Duda to Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday – the latest meeting between the presumptive Republican nominee with European leaders. The two discussed the war in Ukraine and Duda’s push to boost NATO members’ defence spending, according to a readout from Trump’s campaign. Duda, who has long expressed admiration for Trump, is also a supporter of Ukraine and has encouraged Washington to provide more aid to Kyiv amid Russian's ongoing invasion, which has been held up by Trump's allies in Congress. “He's done a fantastic job and he’...

Poland’s local elections on April 7 were another case in point, because they offered the first ...

The payment, confirmed on Monday, ends a long wait for the country, whose national plan was approved in June 2022 but remained blocked over persistent concerns about a lack of judicial independence and democratic backsliding. The decline was credited to Law and Justice (PiS), the hard-right party that governed Poland for eight consecutive years and spearheaded far-reaching reforms that expanded political control over the judiciary and packed courts with loyalists. The most controversial reform empowered the disciplinary chamber of the Supreme Court to punish magistrates according to the conten...

Polish legislators voted on four separate bills on Friday to consider changes to the country's near-total ban on abortion, a highly controversial issue in the mainly Roman Catholic nation. Poland has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe.

''Today is truly a symbolic day, a breakthrough day, and a day that our daughters and granddaughters will probably remember,'' Third Way party member Ewa Schaedler said. ''Something has happened ...

Radosław Sikorski, Poland's foreign minister, wants to make it clear he stands for Ukraine's place in the European Union. "It was during the Polish presidency of the EU – with these hands, I pushed and succeeded in closing the text of Ukraine's Association Agreement with the European Union," he emphasized during an interview with the Kyiv Independent.
