An unusual gift from Donald Trump
In political everyday life, gifts between heads of state are rare. Congratulations and official letters usually dominate. This time Trump decided to take a step beyond diplomatic protocol – he sent Charles Nawrock a copy of the sculptureAmerican eagle.
"This is an expression of direct, good relations between presidents; a gesture symbolising hope for a new chapter in cooperation" — stressed Marcin Przycz from the President's office.

Polish-American relations at a new stage
Trump did not limit himself to sending the sculpture. At the inauguration of President Nawrocki, she also flew to Warsawdelegation from the USA. Such activity from the American administration indicates that the White House focuses on building personal, trust-based ties with the Polish leader.
