Conservative Karol Nawrocki's victory in Poland's presidential runoff has set the country on a more nationalist course. It also casts doubt on the viability of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's centrist government after the defeat of his liberal ally. Nawrocki was supported by U.S. President Donald Trump. He won just over 50% of votes in a tight race against Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. Tusk now says he will ask parliament to hold a vote of confidence in his fragile coalition government. The election race revealed deep divisions in the country along the eastern flank of NATO and the European Union.

European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen has pledged billions of euros in aid for Central European countries that suffered enormous damage to infrastructure and housing during the massive flooding that has claimed 24 lives so far in the region. She visited a flood-damaged area in southeastern Poland on Thursday and met with the government heads of the affected countries — Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. She said funds will be quickly made available for repairs from the EU's solidarity fund, as well as 10 billion euros — about $11 billion — from what is called the cohesion fund, meant for the most urgent repairs.
