Poland split over Greenland issue
President Nawrocki and PM Tusk differ on US and EU roles in security and Greenland claims
At the International Economic Forum in Davos, Polish President Karol Nawrocki made a statement about the justified discontent of the United States and its administration. He emphasized that the EU accounts for 15% of the world's GDP and the United States for another 15%, yet the US pays 65% for NATO, while Europeans pay 35%. Nawrocki advocated that Europe should finance its security on the shoulders of the United States and supported Americans taking control of matters related to Greenland.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who is in political disagreement with the president, presented a different approach. He called on Europe to distinguish between 'enemies and allies,' clearly referring to Walt Dixon regarding Trump's claims on Greenland: 'Appeasement is always a sign of weakness...' Tusk stressed that Europe cannot afford to be weak and must show determination.
Thus, internal debate in Poland intensifies, dividing positions between supporting the United States and strengthening the autonomy of the European coalition.
