In April 2025, CBOS published a survey that showed a crucial decrease in affirmative assessments of Polish-American relations. Just 31% of Poles rated these relationships as good, while Two years earlier it was as much as 80%. It's a drop. by 50 percent points – a very clear signal of temper change.
Increased concerns about US policy
The survey besides points to increasing concerns of Poles about the politics of the United States. Only 20% of respondents considered the impact of the US on the planet to be "predominately positive", whereas 2 years earlier this percent was 52%.

In addition, 60% of Poles expresses concern about Donald Trump's second term.
Both data and intuition propose that Donald Trump's return is an crucial origin in these changes — its policy has increased uncertainty and weakened assurance in the United States.
Conclusion
Although in the field of safety we stay mostly dependent on the US, we should strive consistently to strengthen and reduce European defence capabilities – both through action within the European Union and through its own national policy.
