WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s president said Sunday that he had held very good talks with U.S. senators about the security situation in Central and Eastern Europe, before a NATO summit that Poland will host in July.
Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, and four other senators visited Poland on Friday and Saturday.
Andrzej Duda said the five members of the U.S. Senate’s Intelligence Committee were “not interested in” and didn’t discuss Poland’s current political crisis that has paralyzed the Constitutional Tribunal, which has drawn censure from European Union leaders and concern from three other U.S. senators.
Duda said the two-hour talks Saturday in the southern city of Krakow centered on threats to security in the region and on issues that Poland considers key for the NATO summit July 8-9. Warsaw wants to obtain greater NATO security guarantees for the region nervous about Russia’s actions in Ukraine and elsewhere.
