Andrzej Duda met with Barack Obama

The 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 nuclear issues, the NATO summit in Warsaw, the constitutional crisis and "how the political dispute in Poland is developing," ministerial president Krzysztof Szczerski informed. "President Andrzej Duda informed President Obama about the latest efforts being undertaken in Poland, about a meeting of political parties - which the president welcomes - and about the fact that there is a chance for a political compromise concerning the law on the Constitutional Tribunal," Szczerski said. Szczerski added that the talks took place on Obama's initiative. "After greeting each other, the two stopped while heading to the dining room, 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.
