The diplomat called Poland a rising global power with a trillion-dollar economy, the strongest army in Europe, the fastest-growing country in the region, and a key guardian of NATO’s eastern flank.

Rose noted that President Donald Trump “was the first to recognise this” and, together with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has provided Poland with “unprecedented support,” adding that in a new era of global challenges, strengthening Poland aligns with the America First doctrine.

G20 2026 invitation reflects Poland’s growing global influence, US says

The article by Rubio, published as the United States assumes the presidency of the G20, states that Poland is expected to be invited to the 2026 summit in Florida.

It describes the country as a former Soviet-bloc nation that has grown into one of the world’s 20 largest economies.

Rubio's text also highlights that Poland’s transformation illustrates the benefits of close cooperation with the United States and American businesses, and says the 2026 summit will showcase innovation, economic resilience and partnerships with allied nations.

Poland has become one of Washington’s closest European partners in recent years, increasing defence spending and hosting US forces as NATO works to reinforce security on its eastern flank.
