Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo seals a defense cooperation deal with Polish officials that will redeploy U.S. troops from Germany to Poland.
Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo sealed a defense cooperation deal Saturday with Polish officials that will pave the way to redeploy American troops from Germany to Poland.
The deal would also further other aspects of U.S.-Polish cooperation, he added, citing primarily investment and trade ties.The pact supplements an existing NATO Status of Forces Agreement and allows for the enhancement and modernization of existing capabilities and facilities by allowing U.S. forces to access additional Polish military installations. It also sets out a formula for sharing the logistical and infrastructure costs of an expanded U.S. presence in the country.
Czaputowicz said the presence of American troops “enhances our deterrence potential because we are closer to the potential source of conflict.”“It is important that they should be deployed here in Poland and not in Germany,” he said.“The agreement will enhance our military cooperation and increase the United States’ military presence in Poland to further strengthen NATO deterrence, bolster European security, and help ensure democracy, freedom, and sovereignty,” Trump’s statement said.
Saturday’s signing came just a day after the Trump administration suffered an embarrassing diplomatic loss at the United Nations, where its proposal to indefinitely extend an arms embargo on Iran was soundly defeated in a U.N. Security Council vote that saw only one country side with the U.S. Pompeo will visit that country — the Dominican Republic — on Sunday for the inauguration of its new president.
