This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia’s imperialistic ambitions and aggressive revisionism are pushing Moscow toward a direct confrontation with NATO, with the West and, ultimately, with the whole free world,” Duda said in an op-ed in the Washington Post.
Duda called on member states to raise defense spending to 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has told President Biden that members across the alliance will “sustain and step up” defense spending, as they’ve historically fallen short of 2 percent.
Duda said Poland will use the presidency of the European Union — which it holds for the first half of 2025 — to push a stronger NATO and a “more active U.S. presence across the military, economic and political domains” in Europe.
Duda is set to meet with Biden to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Poland joining NATO and to signal commitment to the alliance and to continued support of Ukraine.
“Poland believes that NATO is the main global pillar of security, a community of free nations founded on universal values,” he said.
