European Union (EU) officials are worried U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s visit to Poland will bolster the populist, right wing government there, encouraging their defiance of the EU, and damage “European unity”. The president’s one-day stop-off – en route to the G20 summit in Hamburg – is for a gathering dubbed the Three Seas project, bringing together leaders from Central Europe, the Baltic States, and the Balkans.
The event has been convened by Poland as it bids to garner influence outside the EU – which has clashed with its nationalist government over migrant policy and sovereignty.
“One cannot but feel a bit suspicious if it isn’t an attempt to break up European unity,” an EU diplomat said about the Three Seas project, speaking to Reuters. Another senior EU official said it was part of Poland’s push towards “self-ghettoisation”.
Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party and Mr. Trump have similar views on migration and climate change and share a suspicion of international bodies and globalisation.
The president also backed Brexit and predicted the further break-up of the EU; his dealings with the rebellious, right wing governments of Central Europe will be watched closely by Brussels.

Did the EUSSR Commissars faint when they heard the news?
Winning.. globally!
I love it. May God bless the Poles.
The pro Muslim/anti America, Euro Trash countries are in for a rough ride for the next 7+ years of Trump’s two terms.
“European unity”
Funny how “unity” always seems to mean “my way, or the highway”. They could also achieve unity by falling in line with Poland, but that’s not the kind of unity that they mean.
God bless the Poles, and pass the kielbasa!
“Right wing” how exactly?
Because they believe in protecting their border? That’s “right wing”?
What? He didn’t clear his visit with Brussels??
The horror!
Oooo...Brussels! I'm so scared.

Poland has been a friend of the United States since the American Revolution.
Screw the EU.
Those “rebellious right wing governments of Central Europe” are in countries that not long ago were under the thumb of the Soviet Union.
They remember and they don’t want to go back to those days. Moscow or Brussels? Not much difference.
Euroweenies......
God bless the Poles, and pass the haluski and pierogies!
The EU is a ham-fisted, bureaucrat’s vision of a European Empire.
Yes it is exactly what the EU leaders fear. Hooray! Just to put a cherry on top, Trump’s should add on a extra day at the end of this trip to visit Hungary where he personally start the bulldozer that flattens George Soros’ Central European University (Alex Soros’ official playground and a major destruction of Europe center).
I certainly hope so.

That's rich, considering the EU's rash of self inflicted islamic no-go zones.
