President Donald Trump told a Warsaw crowd Thursday that Western nations must stand up to the twin evils of terrorism and stifling government bureaucracies that squelch individual liberty -- or risk perishing from the Earth.
In a speech that sometimes echoed the dark tones of his inaugural address, Trump laid out a stark vision of a clash of civilizations and said it’s not clear that the West can survive. He argued that the West can prevail, but only if nations cling tight to the bedrock values of faith, family and freedom.
