U.S. security expert meets with Polish officials to discuss new U.S. strategy

American security analyst Andrew Michta met Tuesday with Polish officials to discuss the United States' newly released National Security Strategy and its implications for transatlantic relations and Poland’s role on NATO’s eastern flank.

Topics included NATO’s defense capabilities, the war in Ukraine, and Poland’s position as a key security hub in Central and Eastern Europe. The session also examined scenarios for ending the conflict and post-war reconstruction.

The meeting at Poland’s National Security Bureau (BBN) was hosted by BBN chief Sławomir Cenckiewicz and included discussions with bureau leadership and experts.

According to a statement posted on BBN’s official X account, Michta delivered a lecture and joined in talks covering the future of U.S.-Polish defense cooperation and broader regional security.

Topics included NATO’s defense capabilities, the war in Ukraine, and Poland’s position as a key security hub in Central and Eastern Europe. The session also examined scenarios for ending the conflict and post-war reconstruction.

Presidential ministers Adam Andruszkiewicz and Karol Rabenda also attended the meeting.

The U.S. strategy document, released Friday, outlines a shift toward national sovereignty, internal resilience, and great-power competition, primarily with China.

BBN analysts noted that the strategy redefines U.S. global engagement and carries major implications for Europe—enhancing Poland’s strategic position but also requiring greater defense autonomy.
