Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses US president Donald Trump’s speech delivered in Warsaw on 6th July 2017. The authors signal various opinions of the media about the visit (framing), discuss the setting of the speech (place, time and listeners) and present the structure and the content of the speech. The presi- dent’s address consisted of three parts: the introduction included an elaborate emotional greeting, the main body was multifaceted and the ending was a set of wishes for Poles with a nal blessing. The speaker emphasized the close relationship of the two nations, praised Poles for their bravery during the Warsaw Uprising and enumerated a set of universal values respected in European coun- tries. He also evoked the notion of the world peace. The president employed a variety of speech genres, such as appeals, wishes, threats, promises and questions. The present authors recognize the rhetorical value of the presidential address.
