Answer:

In 1793, to solve the controversy around the French Revolution, President Washington issued the Proclamation of Neutrality.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Proclamation of Neutrality, on April 22, 1793, President George Washington declared US neutrality in the First Coalition War. The statement, officially published as an A Proclamation, was preceded by a dispute in Washington's Cabinet, in which Francophile and Pre-Republican Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and Pro-English and Conservative Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton faced each other.

President Washington issued the Proclamation of Neutrality.  It states neutrality of the United States on the on-going war between Great Britain and France. The proclamation was forced by the French government to confirm the decision of The United States.
