Polish president says Trump ‘applying instruments’ against Russia

Polish president says Trump ‘applying instruments’ against Russia

Washington, Mar 13 (UNI) US President Donald Trump is not only being "nice and gentle" with Russia, but is also using "instruments" against Moscow, Polish President Andrzej Duda said on Thursday.
"This is not delicate diplomacy, this is a tough game, but in my opinion it’s not that President Trump is being only nice and gentle with Russia, ... I think he’s applying instruments against Russia, even though it’s maybe not as loud and visible as those he’s using against Ukraine," Duda said in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper.
Duda also called for giving Trump a "chance" to stop the conflict in Ukraine.
