Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said that Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election will have serious consequences for European security, but he added he could not predict precisely what those consequences would be.
“The US elections will have serious consequences for European policy, especially in the area of security,” he told a news conference ahead of his flight to Budapest for a European leaders’ summit.
“For us, it is very important, I want to emphasize this, Poland has clearly defined interests,” he said.
The Polish prime minister said his main message to other European leaders would be “to consolidate transatlantic relations”, adding that he had “good personal relations” with Trump during his first term when he was the President of the European Council.
He described Trump as a “demanding” partner who believed in utilising “unpredictability” in politics both towards his allies and enemies.
“We must be prepared for a change compared to Joe Biden’s presidency. Does this mean – for us in the key issues of security, Ukraine, Russia, war – an about turn in Washington? I don’t know anyone who could precisely answer this question,” he added.
