"This is simply a deadly threat to Poland if we accept it as average that 1 or another power can tell another country: give me your territory.

And this is the situation we are in today," added organization leader Together.
Zandberg besides stressed that, in his opinion, the duties announced by the US to European countries sending soldiers to Greenland, although not including Poland, will besides affect our country.
"If individual assumes that the fact that Poland is not indicated in the list of countries subject to duties will not mean consequences for our economy, he is either naive or he does not realize how trade agreements work," he said.
