Poland to sign US shield deal
Poland and the United States will sign a deal on Thursday to place parts of the US global missile shield on Polish soil, government sources said. The sources said that under the deal, US negotiators agreed to Polish demands for greater military cooperation in return for Warsaw's consent to host the installation.
"This agreement will include a declaration of US military cooperation in case of a threat to Poland from third states," one source said after two days of talks in Warsaw. The deal will now have to be endorsed by the Polish parliament, the sources said. (Reuters)
