Barack Obama: US and Poland Relationship Has 'Never Been Stronger'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama said that relations between his country and Poland have 'never been stronger' as he confirmed that he and the Polish President had discussed the visa regime for Poles.

The visa issue is the main irritant in traditionally cordial relations between the two Nato allies, though the US President will need the support of Congress to make the change.

Obama said: "We discussed how we can more regularise the visa process between our two countries and I indicated to him the work we are doing in the US to be able to achieve that.

"In sum, I think the relationship between our two countries has never been stronger. I am very proud to come here in order to say thank you to the Polish people for their friendship." (+ video) » | Saturday, May 28, 2011
