WATCH: Poland’s Prime Minister flips on Trump: “I have never made such suggestions” that Trump is a Russian asset

President Donald Trump’s reelection is already prompting global forces to reassess the United States. In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk was confronted about saying as recently as last year that “it is no longer debatable” that “Trump [has] dependence on Russian intelligence” and that “Trump was actually recruited by Russian intelligence thirty years ago.”

Following Trump’s win, Tusk was asked about his claims that Trump is tied to Russia. Tusk responded that, “no, I have never made such suggestions.”

Polish sources told the Washington Reporter that the journalist who asked Tusk about his Trump criticisms, who works at the weekly magazine of the Solidarity labor union, “was informed that she will be banned from the Prime Minister’s press conferences.”

Further complicating Tusk’s now-critical relationship with Trump, Tusk also claimed last year that “Trump [] in my view, has little chance of winning the next election” and that “our independence, and certainly the peace of Europe, and therefore our lives, would be at great risk if the U.S. shifted back to Trump’s approach.”

Trump was also opposed by Vladimir Putin heading into the 2024 elections.

As early as 2008, Tusk discussed America’s missile defense in Poland with Putin before Tusk scuttled the proposal during a trip to Washington, D.C.

Other European leaders, like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, have fully endorsed the future and former president.
