WASHINGTON
The US congratulates Karol Nawrocki on his election as president of Poland, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday.
The US and Poland share a "strong and enduring" partnership rooted in mutual commitment to security, prosperity and the rule of law, Rubio said in a statement.
"The Polish people have spoken and support a stronger military and securing their borders," he added.
The US looks forward to “working closely with President-elect Nawrocki and Poland's government to further our shared priorities,” Rubio said.
Nationalist opposition candidate Nawrocki won Poland’s presidential election with 50.89% of the vote, narrowly defeating Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski in a fiercely contested runoff, according to official results released by the country's election commission.
