President Donald Trump held a meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda at the White House on Wednesday to expand their nation’s centuries-old cooperation in trade, security, energy, defense, and health based on shared values of “democracy, the rule of law, individual liberties and freedoms, and free, fair, and reciprocal trade,” read their joint statement.

Before the meeting, Duda paid tribute to a Polish-American hero who, after dedicating his life assets to freeing slaves, had his statue devastated by riots in May.
