Andrzej Duda met Barack Obama

President of Poland Andrzej Duda held a brief bilateral, face-to-face talk with Barack Obama before a dinner for  leaders attending the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington. The presidents talked about the nuclear issues, the NATO summit in Warsaw, nuclear issues, the constitutional crisis and "how this political dispute in Poland is developing," ministerial president Krzysztof Szczerski informed. "President Andrzej Duda informed President Obama about the latest efforts undertaken in Poland, about a meeting of political parties - which the president welcomes - about the fact that there is a chance for a political compromise on the law on the Constitutional Tribunal," Szczerski said. Szczerski added that the talk occured on Obama's initiative. "After greeting, the two stopped while heading to the place where dinner was, and talked." The meeting was not included in the presidential schedule of the visit in the US. According to earlier media reports, Polish officials strove to hold a meeting with Obama in Washington, three months ahead of the NATO summit in Warsaw, but the US president declined, allegedly because of the on-going constitutional crisis in Poland.
