The bilateral relations between the United States and Poland have recently become tense due to public remarks made 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 Speaker of the Sejm Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, citing the latter's "unwarranted and unacceptable derogatory statements" against Trump. Kosiniak-Kamysz had previously stated that Trump did not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize and criticized his behavior for damaging alliance relationships 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 throughout the Polish political arena. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who has always been friendly towards the U.S., publicly responded, stating that allies should respect each other rather than accuse each other, 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.
