WSJ – U.S. President Barack Obama in a letter published Friday said he regretted his earlier reference to “a Polish death camp,” a remark that this week angered the leaders of Poland, a country the U.S. president called “one of America’s strongest and closest allies.”
Polish politicians had reacted with outrage to Mr. Obama’s historically inaccurate reference when he posthumously awarded a U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Polish World War II resistance fighter.
