Former President Donald Trump is set to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in New Britain Township on Sunday, September 22, according to local news. Polish President Andrzej Duda, a conservative leader, is also expected to visit the shrine that same day.
The visit follows heightened security concerns after an attempted assassination attempt the previous Sunday, where a man with a rifle was arrested by authorities. The FBI has accused the man of attempting to target Trump, who had previously survived an assassination attempt in July. Fortunately, no shots were fired.
President Duda is visiting the US next week for the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, where world leaders gather.
The shrine, located in Central Bucks County, was constructed in the early 1960s and honors Polish Catholic religious figures. It also holds the heart of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Poland’s third prime minister. The site has historical significance, with Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, later Pope John Paul II, visiting twice. A statue of him stands on the grounds, overlooking Doylestown.
Security will be tight during Trump’s visit, with local law enforcement working alongside the US Secret Service.
In 2016, Polish leaders, including then-Prime Minister Beata Szydlo and President Andrzej Duda, made separate visits to the shrine.
If Trump visits, he would be the first presidential candidate to stop at the shrine in the 21st century.
Bucks County is an important swing area in Pennsylvania, a crucial state for anyone aiming for the presidency.
