US Ambassador Cuts Ties with Polish Speaker Over Trump Criticism

• US Ambassador Tom Rose announced an immediate halt to all contact with Polish Parliament Speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty.
• The decision follows Czarzasty's criticism of former President Donald Trump's policies and his refusal to support Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
• Czarzasty, leader of The Left party, cited Trump's 'destabilising' and 'transactional' approach to international relations as reasons for his stance.
• Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded, emphasizing mutual respect between allies, while President Karol Nawrocki's spokesman criticized Czarzasty for not understanding alliances.
• The incident highlights the delicate balance for Poland's pro-European government in maintaining US ties amidst differing views on Trump's 'America First' policies.
