Polish official denies US sanctioning over Holocaust law
Poland’s Foreign Ministry denies reports that the US. is punishing Poland over a controversial new Holocaust law.
Bartosz Cichocki, the deputy foreign minister, concedes that Washington has been expressing “concerns and questions” about the law, but said reports of sanctions are untrue.
Polish news portal Onet reports that the Polish government was told that President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki cannot count on any meetings with either US President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence until Poland changes the law.
Onet said it has seen Polish documents confirming the ultimatum, and reported that the Americans also threatened to block the financing of joint military projects.
