Poland elected a conservative nationalist, Karol Nawrocki, to lead the country as its next president, in an election that could have broad implications for the future of Europe

Nawrocki is set to take office on Aug. 6.

Here’s what to know about the election:

Visit with Trump last month

President Trump hosted Nawrocki at the White House last month, in a sign of support shortly before the election. The two men posed for photos, shaking hands and giving a thumbs-up gesture in the Oval Office.

Nawrocki told private broadcaster TV Republika after the meeting that Trump told him, “you will win,” Reuters reported at the time.

"I read it as a kind of wish for my success in the upcoming elections, and also awareness of it, and after this whole day I can say that the American administration is aware of what is happening in Poland,” Nawrocki added at the time.

The interview came after Nawrocki attended the National Day of Prayer at the White House.
