US military looking at deploying anti-missile system in Germany
None
The US military has held preliminary discussions about moving a powerful missile defence system to Germany to boost European defences, according to two sources familiar with the issue, a move that experts said could trigger fresh tensions with Moscow.
The tentative proposal to send the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to Europe predates US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear accord, and comes amid a broader push to strengthen Europe's air and missile defences.
While Europe and the United States are at odds over the fate of the nuclear agreement, they share concerns about Iran's continued development of ballistic missiles.
