Ratcliffe met with Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and with Tomasz Siemoniak, the government minister responsible for the security services, Polish state news agency PAP reported on Friday, citing sources at the defence ministry.

The subject of the talks was not disclosed.

Ratcliffe took over as CIA director in January last year, shortly after President Donald Trump returned to office.

During Trump’s first term, Ratcliffe served as director of national intelligence from 2020 to 2021.
