Although he hasn’t yet talked with new United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Kosiniak-Kamysz has met with U.S. officials tied to the Trump team and stressed the scale of Poland’s defense buildup.
“We can calmly show the new Trump administration that the two conditions which President Trump frequently underlines: defense spending, which we have at the highest level in NATO, and mutual economic relations for American business, we realize at the highest level in Europe,” said Kosiniak-Kamysz.
“It’s kind of an insurance policy,” he added.
And if other European countries are worried about the U.S. retreating from the continent and from NATO under Trump, they should follow Poland’s example, he said.
“Europe should invest more in security to retain the presence of the Americans in Europe, and not to replace them,” he said.
The other goal of that massive surge in spending on tanks, air defense systems, artillery and fighter jets is clear: to scare Russia.
