American Advisory Council

“I am proud to have the support of the hard
working Polish American community that
shares the American values of love of
freedom, independence and respect for
family. This council will continue to advise
me on how best to maintain and increase the
strong ties between Poland and the United
States,” said Donald J. Trump.
The Polish American Advisory Council for
Trump includes Dr. Lucja Swiatkowski Cannon
as chair, seven co-chairs and a growing
number of council members, five of whom are
announced today and others forthcoming.
Polish Americans from 10 states are
represented by this council. These leaders
have already advised Mr. Trump and Governor
Pence on a number of related issues.
Dr. Lucja Swiatkowski Cannon, the council
chair, is a scholar/consultant most recently
affiliated with the Center for Strategic and
International Studies. Dr. Cannon stated, “I
support Donald Trump’s insistence on a
stronger commitment by all NATO members for
the common defense. Of 28 NATO members,
Poland is one of only five countries
fulfilling Mr. Trump’s call for balancing
NATO’s budget by meeting the goal of 2% of
GDP for defense spending. It is peace
through strength."
Roman Korzan of McLean, Virginia is
Co-Founder of the Federation of Polish
Americans. Korzan stated, “As a legal
immigrant, I see the similarity between Mr.
Trump’s common sense refugee vetting
policies and those of Poland, where the
Chair of Poland’s leading party said in May:
‘After recent events connected with acts of
terror, we will not accept refugees because
there is no vetting mechanism that would
ensure security.”
“As a person of faith, I appreciate Mr.
Trump’s policy of creating a safe zone for
Christians and other faiths in Syria. Poles
understand the dangers of religious
persecution” said David Targonski of
Gastonia, North Carolina, a Reagan and Bush
appointee.
A historian and journalist, John Czop, of
Ridgewood, New Jersey, said: "Poland shed
blood as our key new NATO ally in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Poles were responsible for both
the South Central Zone of Provinces (over
three million Iraqis) and 9000 square miles
of Ghazni Province in Afghanistan. Moreover,
Polish Special Forces, known as GROM, won
well-merited praise from American army
officers for their intrepid raids against
enemy positions."
Former Regional Director for ACTION Eugene
Pasymowski of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania,
says “Every one of our communities is safer
right now because Poland is contributing to
the NATO antiterrorist efforts by providing
fighter planes and Special Forces
instructors to fight ISIS in Syria and
Iraq.”
"I’m proud that my birthplace of Poland is a
stalwart ally of my new country and
contributed to peacekeeping missions in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa at the
side of the United States,” says filmmaker
Witek Rosowski of Glendale, New York;
President of Solidarni 2010.
Eve Neterowicz of Portage, Wisconsin, a
Reagan and Bush appointee, reminds us:
"Poland and America were friends from the
beginning. Poland adopted a modern
Constitution on May 3, 1791, shortly after
the adoption of the US Constitution.
Generals Kosciuszko and Pulaski fought for
freedom and independence of both Poland and
the United States.”
Additional members of the council will be
added in the future.
