⚡️Poland has assumed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union amidst a challenging environment marked by a sluggish EU economy, potential U.S. tariffs on European exports, deteriorating trade relations with China, and Russia's ongoing War in Ukraine. With France and Germany distracted by Domestic Political Crises, Poland is positioning itself to play a central role in shaping European Policy, particularly on Security. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized Europe's need to strengthen itself, while European Council President Antonio Costa highlighted continued support for Ukraine. Tusk aims to build EU support for Ukraine's Peace and Security, though analysts suggest Poland will struggle to lead alone, given the complexity of Defense and Financial Decisions facing the EU.
