In Washington's Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, Washington states that United States will chose to remain neutrally aligned with the nations involved in world conflict at that time. He states that the United States would not align themselves with the French, nor the French's opposing forces of Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands. Instead, the United States would chose to engage in friendly relations with all of the nations involved.
Washington also goes on to say that any citizen of the United States that does not abide by these terms of neutrality will be so forth punished accordingly.
