Three Seas Summit moved to Warsaw due to Trump visit

The Three Seas Initiative Summit originally planned in Wrocław has been moved to Warsaw, after the US President Donald Trump announced his participation in it. “We are forced to move this summit to Warsaw for logistic and security reasons,” President Andrzej Duda explained. Donald Trump will attend the summit on July 6 on his way to the G20 meeting in Hamburg. Apart from Poland, the Three Seas Initiative comprises Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia. The leaders of these countries will meet to discuss strengthening and integrating the region through the development of energy and infrastructure ties in the territory running from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Adriatic in the south and the Black Sea in the east. The initiative is to raise the region's standing in Europe, but also to make it attractive as an economic partner for the US.
