On April 11, 2023, the Prime Minister of Mateusz Morawiecki laid a wreath at the statue of Revolutionary War hero Tadeusz Kościuszko in Lafayette Park across from the White House. Kościuszko was a Polish military engineer who fought for the independence of the United States during the Revolutionary War. The statue is located in a park that bears his name and serves as a symbol of Polish-American friendship. The Prime Minister’s visit to the statue is a gesture of respect for Kościuszko’s contributions to both Poland and the United States, and highlights the strong historical and cultural ties between the two nations.
