Poland and the U.S. have signed a memorandum that will allow Poland to buy Raytheon-made Patriot missile defense systems, Reuters reported Thursday.
Polish Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz said in a news conference that the U.S. government agreed to sell Patriot missiles in the latest configuration.
The announcement coincides with President Donald Trump’s visit to Warsaw where he is expected to voice his commitment to NATO in a speech and in meetings with a group of countries before he goes to Germany for the G20 summit, the report said.
Poland sent a letter of request to the U.S. government earlier this year in an effort to finalize a potential $7.5 billion contract to procure eight Patriot batteries by November.
