In light of a possible shifts in geopolitics, Poland and Europe must focus on strengthening transatlantic ties, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said ahead of an upcoming meeting of EU leaders.
The prime minister addressed a press conference upon his departure for Budapest on Thursday, where he will attend the European Political Community summit and an informal meeting of the European Council.
He said that the meetings would discuss Wednesday's victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election and its implications for the EU security, among other topics.
"If we expect certain shifts or turbulence in geopolitics and the international landscape, it is all the more important for both Europe and Poland to effectively foster the best possible transatlantic relations," he said,
Tusk claimed that the EU must focus on "consolidating transatlantic relations" regardless of the personal assessments of the world leaders.
Nevertheless, he added, "Poland’s interests are clearly defined and consistent... and these will guide my decisions." (PAP)
