Defense: Pistorius meets Hegseth in Washington – this time, Germany even receives praise from the US
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and his US counterpart Pete Hegseth agree on increased cooperation in armaments. The meeting in Washington was described as "relaxed".
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius met with his US counterpart Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon and later signed a statement of intent on enhanced cooperation in armaments on the Freedom Plaza in Washington. The agreement aims to address current security challenges with a robust defence industry base on both sides of the Atlantic.
The meeting was described as relaxed, friendly and open, allowing both sides to discuss important issues. This comes after a planned visit in May failed to secure high-level meetings with US administration officials.
