He and the First Lady Melania Trump arrived at Warsaw Chopin Airport on July 5, 2017, and the Polish Foreign Affairs Minister Witold Waszczykowski greeted them.

In his statement, the visit to Poland was going to strengthen American alliances, demonstrate the United States and Europe's commitment to liberty and the rule of law, reinforce the common understanding of threats, respond to Russia's destabilizing activity, expand economic opportunity on the energy market, and address the environmental issue.

"[20] David Smith from The Guardian regarded that "his attempt to set out a Trump doctrine will be remembered not for a quotable zinger but for muddled thinking and dark nativism."
