Reference News Network February 6 report, according to the Associated Press February 5 report, U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Ross announced on the 5th that the United States would no longer "further engage, contact or communicate" with the President of the Polish Sejm, Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, due to the so-called "extremely rude and unwarranted insult against President Trump."

Ross did not specify what these so-called insults were, but Czarzasty had previously made a public statement saying he would not support the initiative to nominate U.S. President Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Since Trump took office, Poland has had to carefully balance defending its European ally Ukraine and not angering its strongest ally, the United States. So far, by letting Prime Minister Tusk handle EU affairs and having President Nawrocki, who came to power with the support of the nationalist-conservative opposition party Law and Justice, connect with Trump, Warsaw has successfully managed this.

However, this week's dispute highlights the difficult position Poland is in under the current international context. On the 2nd, Czarzasty openly stated that Trump "does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize." He said Trump "represents power politics, pursuing transactional politics through the use of force." This Polish politician added that this usually means "violating international law."

The report states that he criticized Trump for not fully acknowledging the role of Polish soldiers in military missions in the United States, and "instrumentally treating other countries' territories," such as Greenland.

Poland's Prime Minister Tusk quickly responded to Ross's statement.

Tusk wrote on X platform on the afternoon of the 5th: "Mr. Ambassador Ross, allies should respect each other, not scold each other."

In the evening of the 5th, Czarzasty himself stated that although he respects the role of the United States as a key ally of Poland, he would not change his position. (Translated by Qiu Fang)
