Nawrocki proposes using the country’s resources to pay for defense investments.

(SERGEI GRITS Associated Press)
Polish President Karol Nawrocki refused Tuesday to sign a law enabling Poland to access almost $51 billion in preferential defense loans facilitated by the European Union, claiming it would be wrong to make Poland more dependent on Brussels.
Instead, the president proposed an alternative draft law suggesting national resources that could be used instead of European loans to pay for further investments in defense.
Subsequent Polish governments have boosted Poland’s defense spending since Russia’s full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in 2022.
But although the liberal government led by Donald Tusk is happy to coordinate efforts with the European Union, the nationalist president has proved more euroskeptic and maintained a friendlier rapport with the Trump administration.
