Obama annonce un milliard de plus pour défendre l'Europe

Tout juste avant sa rencontre avec le Président polonais, le Président Obama a annoncé que les États-Unis allaient accroître leur présence en Europe dans le cadre de qu'on appelle déjà une “European Reassurance Initiative". Le Congrès devra cependant se prononcer sur cette annonce.

 "The White House is also seeking to reposition equipment and infrastructure within Europe and increase participation by the U.S. Navy in the NATO deployment in the Black and Baltic seas.

Finally, the Obama administration is looking to build up the military strength of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine so they can better provide for their own defense.

European security is the “cornerstone of our own security, and it is sacrosanct,” Obama said in brief remarks upon arrival here, standing in front of F-16 fighter jets that are part of a shared military deployment. “It is a commitment that is particularly important at this point in time.”
