Trump Congratulates Poland on 80th Anniversary of Nazi Invasion
---------------------------------------------------------------

As commemoration ceremonies took place over the weekend to mark the 80th
anniversary of Germany's invasion of Poland, President Trump sent a
message of congratulations to Poland for the Nazi invasion. At a Sunday
press conference, Trump said, "It's a great country with great people."
Meanwhile, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier asked Poland for
forgiveness and referred to the German invasion of Poland in 1939 as a
"war crime." Trump had been scheduled to be at an official ceremony in
Warsaw this weekend but canceled the trip due to Hurricane Dorian. Vice
President Mike Pence was in attendance.
