WARSAW / UNITED STATES — The United States Embassy in Poland announced on Thursday that it will suspend official dealings with Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the Speaker of the Polish Parliament, after accusing him of making “outrageous and unprovoked insults” against U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ambassador Tom Rose said in a post on social media platform X that the decision reflects Washington’s refusal to tolerate comments that it views as disrespectful toward the U.S. president. He noted that the embassy “will have no further dealings” with Czarzasty in his official capacity.
The dispute stems from remarks Czarzasty made earlier this week in which he criticised a joint U.S.–Israeli proposal to support President Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, calling the idea “undeserved” and advocating instead for Poland to focus on strengthening alliances such as NATO and the United Nations.
In response to the U.S. embassy’s announcement, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasised that allied countries should engage with each other respectfully, posting that “allies should respect, not lecture each other,” in reaction to the diplomatic standoff.
Czarzasty later reiterated his position in local media and on social platforms, saying he stands by his earlier statements on the peace prize matter and affirming that he continues to respect the United States as a key partner, despite the tensions arising from the exchange.
The incident highlights strains in diplomatic tones between officials of allied nations, underscoring how public comments by lawmakers can have immediate repercussions in international relations. Analysts say the episode may prompt renewed discussions about diplomatic conduct and alliance management within the European Union–U.S. partnership.
