WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Tuesday that NATO's eastern flank needed to be strengthened in response to Russia's aggressive policy. "NATO's eastern flank needs to be strengthened because Russia's aggressive policy has not, unfortunately, ended," Morawiecki told a news conference as he commented on U.S. President Donald Trump's Monday meeting with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. "This aggression hasn't diminished in any way. President Trump must have come to the same conclusions," Morawiecki said. (Reporting by Marcin Goclowski; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
