US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose said he’ll cease all contact with the speaker of the Polish Parliament Wlodzimierz Czarzasty due to his comments on President Donald Trump, in the latest flareup between the NATO allies.

The ambassador said in a post on X on Thursday that Czarzasty’s “outrageous and unprovoked insults directed against President Trump” have made him “a serious impediment to our excellent relations” with Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his government.
