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 terminate" all contact with Polish Speaker of the Sejm Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, citing his "unwarranted and unacceptable derogatory remarks" against Trump. Czarzasty had previously stated that Trump was not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize and criticized his words and actions for damaging alliance relations 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. Prime Minister 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 his online response, sparking even more controversy.
