None

US President Barack Obama expressed concern on Friday over Poland's moves to shackle its constitutional court, calling for more action during talks with his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, before a NATO summit in Warsaw.

 

Speaking after meeting Duda, Obama said Poland had taken some steps to address US and European concerns but more should be done. "I expressed to President Duda our concerns over certain actions, and the impasse over Poland's constitutional tribunal," Obama told reporters. "I insisted that we are very respectful of Poland's sovereignty and I recognize that parliament is working on legislation to take some important steps, but more work needs to be done.".
