I'm an economic nationalist. I am an 'America first' guy. And I have admired nationalist movements throughout the world, have said repeatedly strong nations make great neighbors. I've also said repeatedly that the ethno-nationalist movement, prominent in Europe, will change over time. I've never been a supporter of ethno-nationalism.

I think that Benjamin Franklin felt very strongly in foreign policy in this world, that you needed to at least show some humility, especially when you were strong.
Poland has resumed its place as a leading nation of a Europe that is strong, whole, and free.A strong Poland is a blessing to the nations of Europe. A strong Europe is a blessing to the West and to the world.
