Poland's foreign minister on Friday acknowledged the existence of an internal ministry document that reveals tension in the U.S.-Polish relationship but denied Polish media suggestions that Washington is imposing "sanctions." The strains have emerged over new Polish legislation that makes it a crime to falsely attribute the Holocaust crimes of Nazi Germany to Poland. A Polish news portal, Onet.pl, reported earlier this week that it had seen an internal Foreign Ministry document from February. He also said prosecutors are investigating the leak of the document, "which should not have been made available to journalists." ———This story has been corrected to say that Czaputowicz is foreign minister, not prime minister.
