Donald Trump, in a 2017 Poland speech, asks whether West has "the will to survive"
“The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?”

The article reports that Donald Trump has replaced Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, who had been deputy chief of staff for policy and a homeland-security adviser. It describes Miller as a major influence on Trump’s immigration and security agenda. The quotation at issue comes from a July 6, 2017, address Trump delivered in Poland; according to the article, Miller wrote the speech. That address posed questions about the durability of Western societies and the safeguarding of their way of life, and the article connects that language to Miller’s policy influence. The reported staffing change is significant because, as the piece describes it, Miller had already shaped strict immigration enforcement and other hardline measures before taking the chief-of-staff post.
