ABC News(WARSAW, Poland) — President Donald Trump praised Poland for its commitment to the NATO alliance and warned of “dire threats to our security” and the “steady creep of government bureaucracy.”
“On both sides of the Atlantic, our citizens are confronted by yet another danger — one firmly within our control. This danger is invisible to some but familiar to the Poles: the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people,” Trump said Thursday in the historical Krasiński Square in Warsaw.
Trump said Western countries will confront the threat of “radical Islamic terrorism,” declaring, “We will win.
“
“We must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory, their funding, their networks and any form of ideological support,” Trump said to the Polish people, whose government has taken a firm stance against accepting Syrian refugees. “While we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism.”
Trump added, “We cannot accept those who reject our values, and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent.”
