The White House says President Biden will visit Poland this week after his meetings in Brussels.

The White House had previously announced Biden’s visit to Europe, but not the trip to Poland, although Poland’s president had said Biden would “probably” visit.

Biden will meet NATO allies in Brussels, Belgium, as well as G7 leaders and European Union leaders to “discuss international efforts to support Ukraine and impose severe and unprecedented costs on Russia for its invasion,” the White House says.

On Friday Biden will travel to Poland to meet President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw and discuss “how the United States, alongside our Allies and partners, is responding to the humanitarian and human rights crisis that Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked war on Ukraine has created.”

“The trip will be focused on continuing to rally the world in support of the Ukrainian people and against president Putin’s invasion of Ukraine,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki says.

“But there are no plans to travel into Ukraine,” she says.
