President Donald Trump is expected to meet Polish President Andrzej Duda in Washington on Saturday, as relations between the United States and its European partners sour over the issue of Ukraine.

Duda was a key ally of Trump’s during the American leader’s first term in office and may serve to mend fences between the United States and a wary Europe following a war of words between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier in the week.
