Poland’s Minister of Finance and Economy, Andrzej Domański, said that the impact of U.S. tariffs on his country remains “relatively low,” attributing this to the fact that Warsaw’s exports to the United States are limited, while Poland relies more heavily on imports of American equipment, particularly military hardware.
In an exclusive statement to Sky News Arabia, Domański added that a general sense of disappointment prevails in Europe over the return of U.S. President Donald Trump to tariff-related rhetoric. He noted that the continent would have preferred to focus on other priorities, such as boosting internal competitiveness, lowering energy prices, and easing regulatory constraints, but that the current reality is different.
The minister also voiced concerns over certain provisions of the trade agreement between the European Union and South American countries, warning that they could pose challenges and threats to segments of Poland’s agricultural sector. He pointed out that Poland succeeded in securing the inclusion of some protective clauses for farmers, while acknowledging that significant challenges remain—factors that ultimately led Warsaw to vote against the agreement.
Domański stressed the need to revisit the agreement and improve its implementation in a way that better serves the interests of Polish farmers, underscoring that his government will do whatever is necessary to protect them, given the direct link to food security.
Addressing Poland’s strategy in response to global developments, he explained that opening new markets and expanding trade cooperation are of critical importance. He confirmed that Poland is actively seeking new partnership opportunities with Arab countries, as part of sustained efforts to create mutually beneficial trade prospects for both Polish and Arab partners.
