Poland’s New President Bumps Tusk From Trump Call on Ukraine

Poland’s new president, Karol Nawrocki, unexpectedly joined a call of European leaders with Donald Trump on Wednesday instead of the country’s veteran prime minister in a sign of his emerging clout with the US administration.

Premier Donald Tusk told reporters in Warsaw that he was informed by the US side “shortly before midnight” on Tuesday that they “would prefer” the president to represent Poland in contacts with Trump.
