Biden reaffirms unwavering US support for Poland amid NATO talks

Polish President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk made their way to the White House for discussions with President Biden, with the future of NATO being a principal matter of dialogue.

- The commitment of America to Poland remains unwavering, stressing that an assault on one ally is seen as an assault on all of us. We must all harbour this unified stance, and I anticipate the conversations we’re set to have today. I am very grateful for your visit - Biden remarked, addressing President Duda and Prime Minister Tusk.

In the discussions with the President of the USA on Tuesday, subjects including the current stance of NATO, prospects for the expansion of the Alliance, potentially incorporating Ukraine, alongside Polish-American collaborations and Poland’s defence acquisitions from the USA, will be explored. Additionally, Andrzej Duda will suggest that the Alliance countries collectively agree to dedicate 3% of GDP towards defence initiatives.

Joe Biden is set to declare a £1.6 billion loan for Poland and propose the sale of 96 Apache helicopters - National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan disclosed on Tuesday.

He further mentioned that these measures would support Poland in safeguarding itself with cutting-edge technology whilst also serving the interests of the American defence sector.
