This, he said, would mean the likes of Germany would not be tempted to restore Russian supplies to boost its own struggling economy.

The Polish president, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, insisted that economic sanctions against Russia were working and European...

Police in Poland have stormed the nation’s presidential palace, still occupied by conservative Andrzej Duda. Cops took two ministers from the former Law and Justice (PiS) government to prison this week, despite the fact they had been awarded presidential pardons.

What have the US and Poland agreed to? The two leaders have signed a joint declaration affirming the countries' co-operation on defence. The agreement includes provisions for Poland to provide "basing and infrastructure for 1,000 American troops", who would be temporarily stationed on a rotational basis.

A top EU official earlier this week threatened the use of Article 7, a mechanism that would allow for sanctions against Poland and possible suspension of its voting rights in the bloc. The measure has never been used before. "Each individual law, if adopted, would seriously erode the independence of the Polish judiciary," said Frans Timmermans, first vice president of the European Commission. "Collectively, they would abolish any remaining judicial independence and put the judiciary under full political control of the government." European Council President Donald Tusk, a former Polish Prime Minister from the opposition Civic Platform Party, warned Thursday...

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda slammed “fake news” reports — fueled by a deceptively edited video, shared by CNN’s Chris Cillizza — that his wife, Agata Kornhauser-Duda, intentionally snubbed President Donald Trump by refusing to shake his hand during his visit to Poland on Thursday. “Contrary to some surprising reports my wife did shake hands with Mrs. and Mr. Trump @POTUS after a great visit,” President Duda wrote Thursday, adding, “Let’s FIGHT FAKE NEWS.”

President Trump made a magnificent and inspiring speech in Poland yesterday, one filled with a soaring defense of democracy and free societies and even a free press. Naturally, the fake free press in the U.S. in unison declared the speech to be “dark”, in keeping with the approved talking points it had received in advance from the Democrat Party. CNN’s bed-wetting fake White House reporter, the petulant Jim Acosta, told that network’s fading viewer base that President Trump’s joint press conference with Poland’s President Andrezj Duda was “fake news” because he took two questions from conservative news organizations in between...
