Donald Trump's economical policy, his approach to global relations and energy transformation, can bring tangible benefits to Poland, according to Prof. Zbigniew Krysiak, president of the Program Council of the Schuman Institute of Thought. The economist points out that if we can cooperate with the American administration and exploit bilateral relations, completely fresh opportunities can be opened up for our country and industry. Especially due to the fact that – besides due to trends from outside the ocean – more and more are said to reduce the rate of energy transformation.
" Donald Trump's policy has sparked a worldwide stir, but besides any impulses that can change the approach in the European Union to the energy transition. This economical distress, which results from the European Union's efforts to make a superstate, affects countries with common sense – specified as Poland – Says Newseria agency Prof. Zbigniew Krysiak. – About 30% of German companies plan to decision their activities outside the EU due to energy costs. This could lead to deregulation and changes in EU policy.
This year, the European Commission announced the Omnibus deregulation packages, which introduce a revision of the pace and implementation of the rules, adapting requirements to the economical realities and needs of businesses. 1 of the most crucial changes is the postponement of non-financial reporting obligations, which gives companies more time to prepare data collection systems, environmental and social impact analyses and to implement procedures in accordance with the CSRD, CSDD and another liability regulations in the supply chain (ESG).
According to prof. Krysiak, the process of changing the EU's approach to the Green Deal may prove beneficial to Poland, especially if our country can make effective usage of the beginning opportunities. The economist points out that areas of strategical importance may be low-cost energy sources, gas and oil supply, as well as technology cooperation.
Although the customs policy of the Trump administration creates controversy, the president of the Program Council of the Schuman Institute of thought besides sees affirmative aspects for Poland.
– Donald Trump's introduction of higher tariff rates does not make the situation of the Polish economy worse – notes Prof. Zbigniew Krysiak. – More trade in all areas is possible. Today, trade with the US is only 1/5 of what we have with Germany. Through cooperation with the United States, we can accelerate the construction of atomic power plants, including tiny SMR reactors. Poland besides has large possible in dense and weapons manufacture – our companies are already providing advanced rocket control systems to the American army.
Technology transfer can besides be an crucial component of this cooperation.
– Americans invest, we produce, and the effect is GDP growth and innovation development. Import know-how will make added value and increase productivity. Donald Trump communicates the desire for peculiar treatment of Poland, so that we can only cooperate with it – assesses the expert. – Poland can gain a privileged position in accessing artificial intelligence chip technology, which will be a key origin of competitive advantage in the coming decades.
In his opinion, joint action with the US can besides open Poland access to a immense 1.4 billion people, the Indian market, due to the fact that the scale of this marketplace requires cooperation with a large partner – specified as the United States. America can besides supply Poland with inexpensive energy, gas and modern technologies which Germany cannot offer. On the another hand, Poland could become a bridge between the US and Europe, a peculiar American base on the Old Continent, and the United States itself would gain in importance in Polish trade with abroad.
For now the USA is Poland's eighth partner in exports and imports by countries of dispatch and 3rd in imports by country of origin. The number 1 place belongs in all categories to Germany, which received 26.9 percent of Polish exports from January to July 2025. In our country, goods and services worth more than a 4th of the full import have arrived; almost a 5th has been produced in Germany. However, the differences between Poland's next trading partners are already much smaller than Germany's distance to the remainder of the rate.
– Without doubt, the United States will become a second economy for us, after Germany, with which we will have specified strong cooperation, and even the first in the future. This will consequence from the fact that we request to appeal to inexhaustible gas resources, inexpensive energy sources in the United States, to powerful resources in terms of the improvement of atomic technologies, which Germany will not offer and have no chance to do. At the same time, the interest of the United States is to keep a strong position in Europe and the countries of the Trimorese, in order to have a strong position in Ukraine at the same time – forecast by Prof. Zbigniew Krysiak.
