The bilateral relations between the United States and Poland have recently become tense due to the public remarks of the U.S. ambassador to Poland. On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose announced on social media that he would "immediately suspend" all contact with the Speaker of the Polish Parliament, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, citing his "unfounded and unacceptable insulting remarks" against Trump. Kamysz recently stated that Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize and criticized his words and actions for damaging alliance relations and undermining international organizations. This move provoked a strong reaction from Rose, who said the remarks had become a "serious obstacle" in U.S.-Poland relations. The controversy quickly spread across the Polish political arena. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who has always been friendly towards the U.S., publicly responded by saying that allies should respect each other rather than blame each other, implying that the U.S. approach was inappropriate. Although Rose 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.
