Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to hold a dinner meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda in New York on Wednesday. The meeting, confirmed by a source familiar with the matter, is of significance as European leaders brace themselves for the potential outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Leaders of NATO countries are particularly attentive due to Trump's past criticisms of the alliance, even in the aftermath of Russia's incursion into Ukraine. Poland, a NATO member sharing a border with Ukraine, has been vocal about the need for increased U.S. support to counter Russian aggression.
