Trump Meets Polish President Nawrocki at the White House and Says U.S. Troops Will Stay in Poland
On September 3, 2025, President Donald J. Trump met Polish President Karol Nawrocki at the White House in Washington. Nawrocki took office as president of Poland in August, and this was his first overseas trip since taking office. The two leaders met in the Oval Office and then had lunch, with trade, energy, the economy and military cooperation on the agenda.
Before the meeting, a formation of U.S. military jets flew over the White House in salute. President Trump said at the meeting that the flyover honored Polish legend Major Krakowian, a pilot who died the previous week in an accident during rehearsal for an air show. Nawrocki said F-35 jets had opened the meeting, that Poland is waiting to receive 32 F-35s, and that American equipment also builds Polish security.
Asked whether American soldiers would remain in Poland, President Trump said U.S. troops will stay in Poland, that the United States is very much aligned with Poland, and that the United States could put more troops there if Poland wants. He said the U.S.-Polish relationship has always been tremendous and is now better than ever.
Nawrocki thanked President Trump for endorsing him during his campaign and said being invited to visit only one month after his inauguration showed how important and strong Polish-American relations are. He said there are almost 10 million people of Polish origin in the United States, that they voted in vast majority for Donald Trump and also for him, and that the two countries share values of independence, sovereignty and democracy and common heroes including Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko.
President Trump had endorsed Nawrocki during the Polish election. Asked what message he had for Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump said he had no message, that Putin knows where he stands and will make a decision one way or the other, and that if the United States is unhappy about it, things will happen.
