00:00What are the most important branches of interest between Poland and U.S. in Europe?

00:07Well, it's just the relationship we have.

00:09I think there's a great trust and a great, more than, you know, more than most countries,

00:14more than almost any countries, we have some in a category that's very special,

00:18and Poland is in that category.

00:20We have a very special relationship.

00:22It's like the question about the soldiers that was asked.

00:26We never even thought in terms of removing soldiers from Poland.

00:30We do think about it with regard to other countries, but we would never know.

00:35We're with Poland all the way, and we will help Poland protect itself.

00:42I would like to add something.

00:44Yeah, of course, security is most important also for our relation,

00:48and I'm historian, as you know, maybe, Mr. President.

00:51I'm historian, and this is the first time in Polish history,

00:55in the 20th century and the 21st century,

00:57that the Poles are happy that we have foreign soldiers in Poland.

01:03So the American soldiers are the part of our society nowadays.

01:07We have almost 10,000 soldiers, and this is the signal to all the world,

01:12and also to the Russian Federation, that we are together.

01:16But we are not like the Poland free riders in Europe and in NATO.

01:21President Trump knows it because our GDP for military service achieved 4.7.

01:29So we are probably the one NATO nation which is on this level,

01:34and we will not stop.

01:37Me, as the President of Poland,

01:39we are going to achieve 5% of GDP for military service,

01:44but with American soldiers on Polish soil,

01:46and we solidify and we are secure.

01:51You know, just about that.

01:55You know, Poland was one of two nations that paid more

01:58than they were supposed to with NATO.

02:00I don't know if anyone knows that, but there were two nations,

02:03and Poland paid more than they were supposed to.

02:05They thought it was low.

02:06And by the way, since then, at my request,

02:09they've raised it from 2% to 5%.

02:11But Poland was one of two nations that paid more than they were supposed to,

02:15which was a very nice thing.

02:17Yeah.

02:18Not that youöllin, but they know I was going to be doing this.

02:19You're going to go around.
