WARSAW: The United States embassy will have \u201cno further dealings\u201d with the speaker of the Polish parliament after claims he insulted President Donald Trump, its ambassador said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Tom Rose said the decision was made because of speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty\u2019s \u201coutrageous and unprovoked insults\u201d against the US leader.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not permit anyone to harm US-Polish relations, nor disrespect (Trump), who has done so much for Poland and the Polish people,\u201d Rose wrote on X.<\/p>\n
Poland\u2019s Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded the same day, writing on X: \u201cAmbassador Rose, allies should respect, not lecture each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least this is how we, here in Poland, understand partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Monday, Czarzasty criticized a joint US-Israeli proposal to support Donald Trump\u2019s candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not support the motion for a Nobel Peace Prize for President Trump, because he doesn\u2019t deserve it,\u201d he told journalists.<\/p>\n
Czarzasty said that rather than allying itself more closely with Trump\u2019s White House, Poland should \u201cstrengthen existing alliances\u201d such as NATO, the United Nations and the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n
He criticized Trump\u2019s leadership, including the imposition of tariffs on European countries, threats to annex Greenland, and, most recently, his claims that NATO allies had stayed \u201ca little off the front lines\u201d during the war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
He accused Trump of \u201ca breach of the politics of principles and values, often a breach of international law.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Rose\u2019s reaction, Czarzasty told local news site Onet: \u201cI maintain my position\u201d on the issue of the peace prize.<\/p>\n
\u201cI consistently respect the USA as Poland\u2019s key partner,\u201d he added later on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why I regretfully accept the statement by Ambassador Tom Rose, but I will not change my position on these fundamental issues for Polish women and men.\u201d<\/p>\n
The speaker heads Poland\u2019s New Left party, which is part of Tusk\u2019s pro-European governing coalition, with which the US ambassador said he has \u201cexcellent relations.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is currently governing under conservative-nationalist President Karol Nawrocki, a vocal Trump supporter.<\/p>\n
In late January, Czarzasty, along with several other high-ranking Polish politicians, denounced Trump\u2019s claim that the United States \u201cnever needed\u201d NATO allies.<\/p>\n
The parliamentary leader called the claims \u201cscandalous\u201d and said they should be \u201cabsolutely condemned.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forty-three Polish soldiers and one civil servant died as part of the US-led NATO coalition in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
