Donald Trump is travelling to Europe to attend the G20 gathering of world leaders, which begins Friday in the German city of Hamburg, BBC reports.

But before he arrives the US president will make a stop in Poland, to the delight of its conservative, nationalist government.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who leads the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), has said others in Europe are envious of the visit, which comes before Mr Trump travels to Germany and later to France.

US presidents are almost guaranteed a friendly reception in Poland, and this aspect of the trip will appeal to President Trump and make for good pictures at home.

Authorities in Hamburg are expecting up to 100,000 protesters at the G20, and mass demonstrations are also expected in London when he finally makes a long-awaited state visit to the UK.

But in Poland, the White House will be able to breathe easy.
