Watch again: Kamala Harris meets with Poland’s prime minister to strengthen defence ties

Watch again as Kamala Harris met with Poland’s prime minister to strengthen the economic and defence cooperation between the two nations.

Mateusz Morawiecki is also scheduled to have meetings with the representatives of American defence companies during his three-day visit.

Before departing Warsaw early Tuesday, Mr Morawiecki told reporters at the airport that Polish-American relations “have not been so good for a long time, and perhaps they have never been so strong.”

Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, the United States increased its military presence in Poland — a nation on Nato's eastern flank that borders Ukraine — and has used Poland as a transit country for military and humanitarian aid going into Ukraine.

Poland is also a major donor of aid to Ukraine and has been ordering tanks and other modern military equipment, mostly from US and South Korean producers, to strengthen its own forces and replace some older equipment sent to Ukraine.
