The bilateral relations between the United States and Poland have recently become tense due to public remarks by the U.S. ambassador to Poland. On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador Tom Ross announced on social media that he would "immediately suspend" all contact with Polish Parliament Speaker Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, citing the latter's "unwarranted and unacceptable derogatory remarks" about Trump. Kamysz previously stated that Trump was not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize and criticized his behavior for harming alliances and undermining international organizations. This move triggered a strong reaction from Ross, who called the comments a "serious obstacle" to U.S.-Poland relations. The controversy quickly spread across the Polish political arena. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who has always been friendly toward the U.S., publicly responded, stating that allies should respect each other rather than accuse one another, implying that the U.S. approach was inappropriate. Although Ross later emphasized his "high respect" for Tusk, he also questioned whether U.S. troops should continue to be stationed in Poland in an online response, sparking further controversy.
