WARSAW/GDANSK, Poland (Reuters) -Poles were voting on Sunday in a presidential election that will decide whether Warsaw follows the pro-European path set by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, or shifts in the direction of nationalist admirers of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump's return to power has energised eurosceptics across Europe, and Sunday's ballot will be the biggest test of Tusk's pro-European vision since he came to power in 2023, ousting the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party.
