European leaders met with 🇺🇦, 🇪🇺 & NATO officials to discuss 🇺🇦 support & defence cooperation.

This is all very welcome & needed.

📊 How do Poles view transatlantic relations?
Our experts Jacek Kucharczyk and Małgorzata Kopka-Piątek (Institute of Public Affairs, Warsaw) comment on the survey results of our recent eupinions report "Old Habits Die Hard" eupinions.eu/de/text/old-... from a Polish perspective.

📊 According to our recent eupinions survey in December 2024, European attitudes towards the transatlantic partnership did not change after the re-election of Donald Trump. A clear majority of Europeans still see in the US their most valuable ally.

Trump's re-election hasn’t shifted European views on the transatlantic alliance. While most see the US as the EU's top ally, over 60% agree it’s time for Europe to chart its own path.
