Trump faces European cold shoulder as Poland declares ‘count us out’

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has made it clear that Poland will not join military operations in the Middle East, stressing that the country’s top priority remains the eastern flank and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Speaking after EU meetings in Brussels, Tusk warned that Europe must not lose focus on Ukraine’s security, while also highlighting tensions with Hungary over aid to Kyiv. He emphasized stronger border protection and stricter migration policies amid rising instability linked to the Middle East conflict. The remarks underline growing divisions within the European Union over security priorities and geopolitical threats.
