Nawrocki is scheduled to meet with Trump on Sunday during a series of events marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, according to Marcin Przydacz, head of the Polish president's International Policy Bureau.

Przydacz said the two leaders are expected to discuss security cooperation, bilateral relations, and economic and energy ties.

"For Poland, the most important issue is security policy and the presence of American troops," Przydacz told reporters before the trip. He added that the possibility of a permanent U.S. military presence in Poland would also be discussed.

The Polish president's schedule on Sunday also includes meetings with politicians, members of the Polish American community in the state of Maryland and attendance at a Catholic Mass.

Later in the day, Nawrocki will attend the UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts event at the White House.

The event is being held to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and coincides with Trump's 80th birthday.

On Monday, Nawrocki is due to meet US Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Capitol Hill.

The following day, he is scheduled to meet members of the Polish American community at the John Paul II Center in Clearwater, Florida.
