Polish and American officials inspect military equipment as Poland signs a $2 billion contract with the United States for logistical support for its American-designed Patriot-based air defence systems. Prime Minister Donald Tusk says the deal shows that Poland is a country "that respects alliances and all agreements". "This contract also ensures that Poland and the United States will continue working together well into the future to ensure that NATO's defense capabilities are strong, credible, and constantly improving", adds Daniel Lawton, the US Chargé d'Affaires in Poland.
