2-1 decision from fifth circuit is the first federal appeals court ruling on presidential proclamation invoking 1798 law

President Donald Trump will welcome Polish president Karol Nawrocki back to the White House on Wednesday after backing the conservative nationalist in Polish elections, with their meeting likely to focus on Russia’s war in Ukraine and energy security.

Trump extended the invitation days after Nawrocki was sworn in early in August and then intervened to ensure he joined a key telephone call on Ukraine with European leaders instead of his rival, centrist Polish prime minister Donald Tusk, Reuters reported.
