WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The United States remains “a very important ally” to Poland and that will not change despite the leak of disparaging remarks by the country’s top diplomat, the president said Monday.

President Bronislaw Komorowski spoke a day after the magazine Wprost released a transcript in which Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said Poland’s alliance with the U.S. is worthless and even harmful for the eastern European country because it created a false sense of security.
