Tusk's European Tour: Rallying Support For Ukraine Amid U.S. Policy Shift

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk plans to meet with key European and NATO leaders to discuss transatlantic cooperation and the situation in Ukraine. The meetings follow Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory, which raises questions about future aid to Ukraine amid shifts in U.S. foreign policy.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is preparing for pivotal discussions with major European leaders and NATO's chief to address transatlantic cooperation and the ongoing war in Ukraine. These discussions arise in response to uncertainties sparked by Donald Trump's U.S. election victory, which carries implications for future support to Ukraine.

Tusk emphasized the serious challenges posed by this new political landscape, particularly the potential for a Russian-Ukrainian resolution influenced by negotiations between the U.S. and Russia. He plans to align strategies closely with countries sharing similar geopolitical and transatlantic perspectives.

The planned meetings will include discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron, NATO head Mark Rutte, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, alongside Nordic and Baltic leaders. Tusk reiterated Europe's need to assume greater responsibility for its security and affirm Ukraine's sovereignty.
