Poland’s anti-gay president to visit Trump as first foreign visitor since pandemic began
President Donald Trump will welcome the anti-LGBT+ Polish President Andrzej Duda as his first official foreign visitor since the pandemic began.
The visit comes after the US ambassador to Poland condemned discrimination, including on the basis of sexuality. Her remarks appear to be a reference to Duda’s recent anti-LGBT+ attack as he fights for re-election on 28 June.
Meanwhile the EU has suggested it may cut Poland’s coronavirus recovery funding because of the country’s stance on LGBT+ rights.
