Sławek Szefs reports that Polish media speculations, which quoted a diplomatic note suggesting such a move, were not confirmed.
“We believe in being able to have full and honest conversations. We believe in being able to have the media report in a free manner, even in a way that countries may not agree with,” Heather Nauert, the US State Department spokesperson, said on Tuesday.
She stressed this is important because that is how people learn from the past.
“We would encourage the [Polish] government to listen carefully to our positions that we have clearly stated,” Nauert added.
