A recent survey conducted by SW Research indicated that a significant majority of Poles, 53.2%, do not view the United States as a trustworthy ally, while only 29.9% hold a favorable opinion. This survey prompted US Ambassador Thomas Rose to address the findings in an interview, expressing concern that such sentiments would be more detrimental for Poland than for the United States. He emphasized the importance of a strong alliance between the two nations and stated the US's commitment to fostering productive relations with Poland.

Rose further elaborated on the geopolitical landscape, noting that we are living in times of significant changes that require nations to work closely together. He asserted that despite the disappointing survey results, the US remains dedicated to maintaining and strengthening its partnership with Poland for mutual interests. The ambassador stressed that the relationship should not be based merely on goodwill but on strategic necessity amidst evolving global challenges.

The comments from the US ambassador come at a crucial time when Poland’s faith in its key ally seems to be wavering. This development may have broader implications for future US-Poland relations, especially as both countries navigate complex international dynamics. Open discussions on trust and reliability in alliances are essential as Poland seeks to determine its stance on global partnerships in the current political climate.
