US and Poland’s ‘Shared Future Has Never Looked Brighter,’ says Rubio

May 3, known as the Constitution Day in Poland, marked the adoption of Europe’s first democratic constitution in 1791 by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The document modernized the Polish state by ushering in a series of pioneering political reforms.

It was the world’s second democratic constitution after the United States in 1788.

In a statement, Rubio marked the 234th anniversary by saying he wished all Polish people a “joyous” day. He added that the values in the documents have “inspired both our nations for centuries.”

“Poland and the United States stand together as partners in building a safer and more prosperous future for our peoples,” he said. “We look forward to continuing to strengthen our energy security cooperation.”

Rubio also pointing out Warsaw’s NATO commitments, the hosting of U.S. soldiers, and the two countries’ trade relationship.

“Our shared future has never looked brighter. I look forward to another year of standing together to uphold the values we share – freedom, prosperity, security, and democracy,” he said.

Since Donald Trump returned to office in January, the administration has praised Poland’s high defense spending, while criticizing other NATO allies for investing less.

Against a backdrop of rumors suggesting the U.S. may withdraw some of its forces from Europe, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth even went so far as to call Poland a “model ally.”
