At the last NATO summit in Warsaw, it was decided on the unprecedented strengthening of the eastern flank of the alliance. NATO intends to have in place in 2017 in the Baltic States and Poland, four multinational battalions.
"Poland is ready to cooperate with any US administration. We believe that the Alliance is based on a real unity of interests between the countries and has a stable character. The decisions taken at the NATO summit make sense only if we understand them as adopted by the states, and not the persons. If we treat NATO as a sustainable and stable union, the agreements have a long-lasting nature, as that derives from the NATO's nature, and not from the wishes of particular persons," Szczerski told the Polish Press Agency in an interview.
Earlier, US Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has advocated for the United States to leave NATO unless other countries start footing more of the bill for its defense. He has also claimed the alliance is obsolete because it does not deal with terrorism. During his presidential nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, Trump said all US and NATO allies should absorb their fair share of collective security costs.
