Poland to invite U.S. President Donald Trump to 2025 Three Seas Initiative summit in Warsaw
Poland plans to invite U.S. President Donald Trump to the Three Seas Initiative summit slated for late April 2025 in Warsaw, presidential aide Mieszko Pawlak said on Saturday.

If Trump attends, his appearance would mirror his participation in the 2017 summit in the Polish capital.
“Trump’s visit would close a circle”
Pawlak, who heads the Presidential International Policy Bureau, told the Polish Press Agency that President Andrzej Duda’s final seven months in office will feature a busy schedule of international engagements. These include the NATO summit in The Hague, a meeting of the Bucharest Nine in Vilnius, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Looking ahead, Duda will host a Three Seas Initiative summit on April 28-29, 2025, in Warsaw. In addition to leaders from the 12 member states of the forum, Pawlak said heads of state from partner countries—among them the United States—will also be invited. A formal invitation will be dispatched after Trump’s inauguration.
“Trump’s previous participation in 2017, at President Duda’s invitation, will provide a sense of continuity if he chooses to attend next year,” Pawlak noted. “His presence would serve as a symbolic link, especially as the upcoming summit is the tenth anniversary meeting of the Three Seas Initiative.”
The Three Seas Initiative comprises EU countries between the Baltic, Adriatic, and Black Seas, focusing on infrastructure, energy, and regional security. Pawlak underscored that strong ties with strategic partners like the United States remain central to the forum’s objectives.
