ANALYSIS — “America First” on Wednesday gave its Polish offshoot a thunderous military welcome.
President Donald Trump met at the White House with an ideological peer, newly elected Polish President Karol Nawrocki — whom the American leader endorsed during the country’s June presidential election. American F-35 and F-16 fighter jets rumbled overhead as the pair stood under a mostly clear sky on the executive mansion’s South Lawn.
“I don’t endorse too many people, but I endorsed him and I was very proud of that,” Trump said. For his part, Nawrocki touted the “strongest relations that we’ve ever had,” adding of the U.S. president: “I’m very grateful for your support. … Your support was very important.” When Nawrocki said he got strong support from the Polish diaspora living in the U.S., Trump quipped, “They voted for me.”
