Poland’s far-right deputy speaker Bosak in Washington for security talks

Krzysztof Bosak, Poland’s far-right Deputy Speaker of the Sejm – the lower house of parliament – and a leading figure in the nationalist, Eurosceptic Confederation party, has begun a week-long visit to Washington for a series of security and foreign-policy meetings.

Bosak, known for his hardline anti-immigration stance and socially conservative views, will attend the Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum and hold talks with US lawmakers, think-tanks and Pentagon officials.

Announcing the trip on X, Bosak described the visit as taking place in a "difficult and important" geopolitical moment.

Od rana jestem w podróży do Waszyngtonu, gdzie przez najbliższe kilka dni wezmę udział w Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum, spotkam się z kongresmenami, think-tankami, urzędnikami z Pentagonu, przedstawicielami ruchu konserwatywnego oraz ludźmi zajmującymi się strategią i… pic.twitter.com/G0KbwpMmtT

The forum, which gathers lawmakers and security experts from countries allied with the US, will focus on cyber threats, energy security, cryptocurrencies and religious freedom.

Bosak shared briefing materials prepared by the Polish parliament, including the newly released US National Security Strategy – a document that calls for greater European responsibility for defence, re-establishing strategic stability in relations with Russia and a shift away from treating NATO as an endlessly expanding alliance.

New US strategy raises concerns across Europe

European officials and analysts have reacted sharply to the document.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X: "Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies."

Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

Several EU figures warned that the document risks undermining transatlantic trust, with one senior diplomat saying Washington should avoid interfering in "European political life".

The new US strategy also warns of Europe’s alleged "civilisational erasure," invoking migration, demographic decline and weakened national identities — rhetoric that European commentators criticise as stark and ideologically loaded.

The British newspaper The Guardian notes that the document's language echoes far-right narratives about Europe’s "civilisational decline," prompting concerns about its ideological tilt.

Commentary in France's Le Monde described the strategy as "deepening the divide between the two sides of the Atlantic," warning that the shift could force Europe into an unwanted geopolitical recalibration.

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the document "absolutely corresponds to our [Russia's ed.] vision."
