Trump's State of the Union address dominated morning coverage, with claims about receiving Zelenskyy's letter immediately disputed by Kyiv. The speech's impact rippled through Polish politics, as President Duda defended Trump while Prime Minister Tusk maintained distance.
By afternoon, Reuters reported US suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine, though Kyiv initially denied this claim. The news cycle shifted to Macron's evening address announcing France's readiness to extend its nuclear deterrence to European allies - a direct response to Trump's stance.
Internal political dynamics surfaced through MP Matecki's theatrical surrender of immunity, appearing in handcuffs before parliament. The European Commission's announcement of a "round table" regarding Polish elections added another layer to growing EU-US tensions, while US suspension of certain tariffs suggested selective economic pressure.
