Tusk rejects Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ invitation, says Poland will not be a ‘vassal’: Video
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday, February 11, rejected an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump for Poland to join the proposed “Board of Peace” alliance, saying Warsaw would not participate “under current circumstances.”
Speaking to reporters after a meeting of Poland’s National Security Council, Tusk said the government had “certain doubts and question marks” about the initiative and made clear that Poland’s alliance relationships must be based on mutual respect.
“In this alliance, Poland is not and will not be — as long as I am prime minister — a vassal. We will be a loyal and faithful ally, but we will not be a vassal in relations with any country in the world,” Tusk said. He added that alliances should not depend on “constantly nodding along and trying to achieve something through flattery.”
