The morning media focused on America's Starlink ultimatum to Ukraine and European divisions over military support. By noon, attention shifted to President Duda's upcoming meeting with Trump, with Prime Minister Tusk notably calling for unity in foreign affairs despite domestic conflicts.
The anticipated hour-long meeting at CPAC lasted only ten minutes, generating intense coverage across all media. Trump welcomed Duda as "my great friend" and, according to Polish sources, confirmed plans to strengthen US military presence in Poland. Duda announced Trump's intention to visit Poland, while media analyzed the brevity of their encounter.
Throughout the day, reports emerged about Pope Francis's deteriorating health condition, a fatal Georgian-involved altercation in Warsaw's center, and NATO's plans to extend a Germany-Poland pipeline. Coverage reflected media's struggle to interpret the Trump-Duda meeting's implications for regional security.
