President Trump hailed Poland as a great success of Western civilization on Thursday, holding up the eastern European ally as a model of how a commitment to faith and freedom can overcome great challenges and oppression . . .

Trump noted that Western civilization is under siege from within and without, starting with radical Islam.

“We are confronted by another oppressive ideology – one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe. America and Europe have suffered one terror attack after another. We’re going to get it to stop,” Trump said. “We are fighting hard against radical Islamic terrorism, and we will prevail. We cannot accept those who reject our values and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent.”

Trump also noted the crushing growth of government.

“[O]n 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. The West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies,” Trump said.
