WARSAW (Reuters) — Poland's state-run gas firm PGNiG is in talks over more imports of LNG from the United States, Krzysztof Szczerski, a senior adviser to the Polish president, said on Tuesday.

US LNG supplies to central and eastern Europe are to be discussed during US President Donald Trump's visit to Warsaw later this week, during his meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda.

"We are interested in gas supply diversification, but we also would like the talks to be beneficial for Poland from the economic point of view," Szczerski said.

In June, Polish government energy official Piotr Naimski said he expected more US spot LNG deliveries as well as mid- and long-term agreements on US LNG supplies, following Trump visit.

PGNiG last month received its first US spot delivery of LNG from Cheniere Energy.
