On Thursday 11 June former Florida Governor Jeb Bush met Poland’s newly elected president in Warsaw. Andrzej Duda, who won a Tea Party-like victory against the Polish establishment last month, had an informal meeting with Bush in the afternoon. Bush, who represents the Republican establishment in the wide-open race for the party's US presidential nomination, met him at the beginning of a five-day tour through Europe.  All three countries Bush is visiting have thriving economies, and he is expected to use the trip to highlight pro-growth policies in Europe while trying to make a connection to his own campaign, in which he has called for 4% annual growth in the US. There will also be obvious defence policy implications. All three countries have been among Ukraine’s strongest supporters amid the country’s conflict with Russia. Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said earlier this month that 7,000 civilians have died since the fighting started in April 2014.
