President Bush has met with previous prime ministers such as Leszek Miller and Marek Belka.

In an article published in the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza this morning (See George Bush nie chce sie spotkac z premierem Kaczyskim (George Bush Does Not want to meet with Prime Minister Kaczynski)) it was revealed that Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski suffered a major setback on his plans for his first trip to the United States since becoming Poland's Prime Minister. He had set the trip to Brussels that he made earlier this week and his planned trip to the United States on September 13th as priorities for his government.

The U.S. government has scheduled meetings for Jaroslaw Kaczynski with high-level government officials such as Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the head of the Department of Energy.
