“Democracy won in America”: Polish leaders react to US midterm election results
The defeat of Donald Trump's Republicans received a positive reaction from Poland's ruling coalition.
Polish political leaders have welcomed the results of the US midterm elections, in which Democrats gained control of both houses of Congress. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized that democracy won in America, and expressed hope that the outcome would stabilize the situation in the region. Tusk's government, a broad pro-EU coalition, has sometimes had uneasy relations with the Trump administration, particularly over Russia, Ukraine, and Greenland.
Opposition parties and President Karol Nawrocki, a Trump ally, reacted more cautiously to the results. President Nawrocki, who has vetoed a record number of bills, shared a post from Trump showing his signature cap with the word "VETO" on it. Polish officials, however, maintain that Poland will continue its good cooperation with the US, as it is a mutual ally and collaboration serves both nations' interests.
