President Duda summons US to place nuclear weapons in Poland Poland’s President Andrzej Duda has again summoned on the United States to deploy nuclear weapons to Poland as a deterrent to Russia
WARSAW, Poland -- Poland's President Andrzej Duda again summoned on the United States to deploy nuclear weapons to Poland as a deterrent to Russia, the latest indication that the frontline NATO nation is increasingly considering nuclear protection as fears of Russia grow.
Duda made his appeal in an interview with the Financial Times published on Thursday, repeating an appeal he made to the Biden administration in 2022.
Duda's adviser for international affairs, Wojciech Kolarski, chased up on Duda's appeal with an interview on Poland's RMF FM radio Thursday morning in which he argued that nuclear protection would amend security for Poland, a NATO member along the alliance's eastern flank that shares borders with Ukraine, Belarus and the Russian territory of Kaliningrad.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a political opponent of Duda's, stated most recent week that Poland was in talks with France concerning President’s Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to utilize France’s nuclear deterrent to protect the continent from Russian threats. Moscow summoned that idea “extremely confrontational.”
This also trended:
Tusk made his comment to parliament after Macron disclosed he has decided to open a “strategic debate” on utilising France’s nuclear deterrent to protect European allies amidst concerns over potential U.S. disunity. The French president described Moscow as a “threat to France and Europe” in a televised address to the nation.
France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.
