Storm in the USA after Ambassador Rose's words. There was a threat against Donald Tusk
The US ambassador to Poland is criticized by politicians of the Democratic Party.
“The severing of diplomatic relations with an ally because of Trump's petty and undeserved campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize… basically only confirms the thesis about his 'transactional nature' and 'bias for force',” reads an entry on the X Democrat account in the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Criticism of Tom Rose also appears among Republicans. Congressman Don Bacon, considered a representative of the moderate wing of the party supporting Donald Trump, spoke.
“It's time for a new ambassador,” he wrote briefly on the X platform.
The reaction of Prime Minister Donald Tusk did not escape the attention of the American public, who commented on Ambassador Rose's words as follows: “Mr. Ambassador Rose, allies should respect each other, not lecture each other. At least this is how we understand partnership in Poland.”
The Polish Prime Minister was attacked by Matt Schlapphead of the conservative CPAC conference, which was also organized in Poland. “Mr. Prime Minister, if you mess with Ambassador Tom Rose, you mess with all of us. And please stop using legal means to silence us,” he wrote.
The former commander of American troops in Europe, General Ben Hodges, joined the discussion. “Our ambassadors in Denmark, and now also in Poland, are annoying two of our closest allies with their inept behavior. And all this after disregarding the soldiers of our allies who fought with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. Is this a deliberate action or simply incompetence of the administration?” – he commented.
Former US diplomats expressed critical opinions about the US ambassador to Poland on Thursday.
“If ambassadors from other countries cut off contacts with us because of alleged insults, we would not have many contacts left,” said Phil Gordon, a former adviser to US Vice President Kamala Harris. He noted in his post on the X platform that Rose's declaration came a week after Trump “discredited the service of Polish soldiers in Afghanistan.”
“I say this as a former US ambassador: the Polish government should consider our so-called ambassador persona non grata and kick his sorry ass out of the country,” wrote Luis Moreno, a longtime career diplomat and US ambassador to Jamaica, on the X platform.
Steven Pifer, former US ambassador in Kiev, said that if American diplomats stopped meeting with people who do not nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, “they would have a lot of free time.”
Rose's polemics with X users did not escape the attention of the American public.
“We are no longer a serious country” – this is how the Republicans against Trump account assessed the ambassador's polemic with user X. After the criticism, Rose asked whether the US should withdraw its soldiers from Poland.
