I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'me with you' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'poland-america by united?' is the wordplay.
'poland' becomes 'PL' (e.g. on number plates).
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'united?' becomes 'one' (as in a phrase like 'we are one').
'pl'+'us'+'one'='PLUS-ONE'

'take' is the link.
