U.S. says following events in Poland 'very closely' after EU probe launched


    WARSAW (Reuters) - The United States is scrutinising developments in Poland, the U.S. trade tsar said on Sunday when asked if Washington was concerned about the European Union's rule of law inquiry into Poland and Standard and Poor's cut to Warsaw's credit rating.

    "As a fellow democracy we do follow developments here very closely," U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman told reporters during his visit to Google Campus in Warsaw.

    "We certainly do follow it. As a democracy, we want to make sure that Poland's democracy continues to address the issues."
