“I believe that we can accept both solutions,” said the president of the Bloomberg News agency in an interview in Warsaw. “These two ideas are neither contradictory nor mutual mutually exclusive.”
Prime Minister Donald Tusk told the parliament in March that Poland could apply for access to nuclear weapons and said that He conducts “serious conversations” on the proposal of the President of France Emmanuel Macronto use Paris's nuclear abilities to defend European allies.

“The nuclear pulse is complemented by the already ambitious defense program of Warsaw, stimulated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine over three years ago. Poland, whose defense expenses constitute 4.7 percent. GDP is the largest NATO country. Warsaw also gained financial support from the European Union to strengthen its border with the Russian ally Belarus and Russian exclaims Kaliningrad, “Bloomberg points out.
The agency at the same time emphasizes that Attempts to lobby by Duda in the US administration to involve Warsaw in the program of sharing nuclear weapons did not bring any results. The sharing of nuclear weapons can take the form of an ally accepted American nuclear weapons on his land, as it is believed that several NATO members in Europe do it, or the offer of escort or reconnaissance jet to the nuclear mission.
Speaking less than four months before leaving the office, Duda defended his further efforts saying that The role of NATO is to oppose “aggressive behavior of Russia”. In 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow deployed part of his tactical nuclear weapon in Belarus.
“How does NATO answer it? My answer is very simple,” said Duda. “We invite to expand the sharing of nuclear weapons into our territory. “
Meanwhile, Poland's adoption of Macron's proposal may encounter a number of obstacles because The French nuclear shield is independent of the NATO safety guarantee that includes Poland. Warsaw is also obliged to not be able to do the nuclear weapon as a signatories of the nuclear weapon system.
Paris and Warsaw are currently finalizing the two -sided treaty, which will include, among others, defense, nuclear energy and scientific cooperation, according to the French president's post on X last week after a telephone conversation with Tusk.
