Trump-Xi Jinping Talk Of New Era Favouring Great Powers
18 May 2026
The first trip of President Karol Nawrocki will be to Washington on Wednesday. What can he achieve? A diplomatic breakthrough, a ten-minute photo op – or something worse? When meeting with America First POTUS, will he represent a version of ‘Poland First’, or will he be prepared to speak on behalf of Central Europe more broadly?
The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent the Polish president a note with some dos and don’ts for the visit, reflecting anxiety about what a Karol Nawrocki-Donald Trump duo may get up to.
Also on 3 September, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandr Vučić will travel to Beijing to join ranks with Vladimir Putin at China’s Victory Day parade – a military show of force against the West, sewing together a revisionist alliance.
Europe works on Russian sanctions and use of frozen assets – while Hungary files lawsuit against Ukraine aid and Fico travels to Beijing
