Various local and national media outlets have today speculated about a possible Wroclaw visit for US President Donald Trump this summer.
The possibility of the visit does appear a tad-far fetched, however stranger things have happened.
According to the likes of and , the Polish Foreign Ministry intend to invite President Trump to this summer’s ‘Three Seas’ forum. This year the forum will reportedly be held in Wroclaw’s Hala Stulecia at the same time as the annual Global Forum, on the 6th and 7th of July.
Earlier today Wroclaw President Rafal Dutkiewicz confirmed the claims about the Foreign Ministry’s invitation, and had the following to say about the situation: “Donald Trump, whether we like it or not, won the election in the United States. The visit, if it were to happen, would always be a great event.”
The Three Seas Forum traditionally involves the participation of the 12 leaders of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe; Poland, Czechia, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary.
According to Michał Kobosko, the director of Wroclaw Global Forum, the possibility of Donald Trump visiting Wroclaw is increased by the fact that this year’s G20 meeting is taking place in Hamburg just two days after the Three Seas Forum.
However, given that Donald Trump has only been in office a few days, any announcement on a visit (or confirmation it won’t happen) is unlikely to come any time soon.
If President Trump did end up coming to Wroclaw for the event, it would be the first time in history that a US President had visited the city.
