Trump, Polish President Nawrocki Meet at White House, Set to Discuss Ukraine and Crime Policy

U.S. President Donald Trump and Polish President Karol Nawrocki addressed reporters on Tuesday ahead of a bilateral meeting at the White House, with both leaders expected to focus part of their discussions on the ongoing war in Ukraine and regional security.
In brief remarks before the closed-door meeting, President Trump said the situation in Ukraine would be a key topic, particularly as Russia signals mixed messages about the possibility of a negotiated settlement.
“We’re going to talk about a lot of things Ukraine being a very big one,” Trump said, without elaborating on whether any new policy measures or aid packages would be announced.
Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies since the Russian invasion began in 2022, providing military support, humanitarian aid, and serving as a critical transit point for NATO assistance.
Federal Law Enforcement Surge Considered for New Orleans
President Trump also touched on domestic policy during his remarks, revealing that his administration is considering deploying additional federal officers to New Orleans as part of a crime-reduction initiative.

“We’re looking at New Orleans very seriously,” Trump told reporters. “We may need to send in more federal officers to deal with the crime problem there.”

The potential federal surge would mirror previous efforts under the Trump administration to address violent crime in other U.S. cities, a move that has often sparked debate over states’ rights and the role of federal law enforcement in local policing.
President Nawrocki did not comment publicly on the proposed crime crackdown but is expected to discuss Poland’s strategic cooperation with the U.S. and shared defense priorities during the meeting.
