Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to stand in for Trump and give a speech in central Warsaw on Sunday during ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.
Trump announced on Thursday he was cancelling his planned trip to Poland this weekend, saying he needed to stay and monitor Hurricane Dorian as it approached the southern state of Florida.
“I will be rescheduling my trip to Poland in the near future," Trump told reporters at the White House.
Krzysztof Szczerski, a top aide to Polish President Andrzej Duda, said Warsaw had proposed several possible dates for Trump’s visit and "they all cover the next three months".
Trump had been expected to deliver a speech at Piłsudski Square in central Warsaw on September 1, along with Poland’s Duda and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
On Monday, September 2, Trump had been expected to hold face-to-face talks with Duda and meet Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
