Poland has declined an invitation to join a peace council organized by US President Donald Trump, as reported by Reuters. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, during a government meeting, expressed that concerns regarding certain national issues with the council's structure led to this decision. However, he also noted that Poland's relationship with the United States remains a priority, and they are open to re-evaluating their position if conditions change.

The council aims to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with Trump indicating that its scope could be expanded to include other global conflicts in the future. This has sparked concerns that Trump's peace council might compete with the United Nations, which traditionally oversees international peace initiatives. European nations, similar to Poland, have largely rejected the invitation to join, reflecting a broader hesitance towards Trump's foreign policy strategies.

Poland's decision highlights the complexities of international relations and the delicate balance that countries must maintain between cooperation with superpowers like the United States and their own national interests. As Europe grapples with varying opinions on US-led initiatives, Poland's stance could influence other nations' positions regarding Trump's endeavors in international diplomacy.
