US to deploy missile defence elements in Eastern Europe
| Feb 6, 2010 13:38 Moscow Time |
The US Administration has launched a new phase of deploying its missile defence systems in Eastern Europe. This came in a statement by President Barack Obama’s National Security Adviser James Jones. He was speaking in an address to the 46th Munich conference on security earlier today. He said plans to deploy missile defences had been prompted by the growing medium- and short-range missile threat. According to Jones, the United States will interact on deploying antimissile missiles in Europe with all of its partners, namely Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania, and will also continue talks with Russia. Yesterday the Romanian President Traian Basescu said he was prepared to start talks with the United States on deploying elements of the US missile defence system in Romania in 2015. Moscow has, for its part, voiced concern about Washington’s plans.
