In 1793, Washington takes the position that the United States should keep a "friendly and impartial" relationship with the European powers. Basically he is stating that the United States should stay neutral. He goes on to warn the general populous that if they in someway violate the relationship, or lack there of, that they are to completely avoid those actions. He also declares that a citizen will not receive the protection of the United States, if they are caught transporting contraband. And that all people will be prosecuted if they violate the laws of the United States, or any other nation.
