The President defended his actions in not proceeding with George W Bush's
plans of building a missile shield on Polish soil, saying that the "reset" had
not only benefited Russia and the US but the wider region as well.
Speaking at a press conference with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Obama praised
the Polish leader for his approach to Russia "even if it's not always the most
politically popular thing to do."
The President said: "I'm a strong believer that the reset between the United
States and Russia has benefited this region as well as the United States and
Russia.
"It has reduced tensions and has facilitated genuine dialogue about how each
country can move forward.
"We appreciate Poland's pragmatic approach to their relationship with Russia."
