U.S. Ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski said in an interview for TVN24 that American soldier "go abroad to protect democracy, freedom of the press, freedom of the media, the rule of law, and human rights". "And on that we don’t budge a milimeter," the ambassador added. Mark Brzezinski also stressed that "never before have American and Polish militaries been as closely connected".
Piotr Kraśko asked Mark Brzezinski about his experience on board of the world's largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.
"It makes me proud of the American-Polish special friendship, because yesterday I was able to bring General Rajmund Andrzejczak, the chief of Polish defence to the USS Gerald R. Ford – America’s newest aircraft carrier, our brand new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that is state-of-the-art," the U.S. ambassador replied.
Mark Brzezinski added that "never before have American and Polish militaries been as closely connected".
"Military to military connections in the past used to basically a photo opportunity. Today we have Polish engineers and Polish soldiers working along American soldiers on the most sophisticated technologies," he underscored.
The ambassador also said that U.S. forces deployed abroad – like USS Gerald R. Ford touring across Europe - are meant "to send the message to our adversaries that American troops go abroad to protect values, not a political leader or a political part". "They go abroad to protect democracy, freedom of the press, freedom of the media, the rule of law, and human rights. And on that we don’t budge a milimeter," he stressed.
